downgrading via source

[blah44]

If I have 9.2 installed and I wanted an older version, like 8.x or 7.x, would make buildworld to downgrade via source work at all? Or is that totally insane?

Keep in mind that the entire 7.x version is EoL. FreeBSD 8.4 is the last of the 8 versions and that's going to be EoL in June 2015.

It should be possible to downgrade using source but I don't recommend doing it.
