Hm I'd probably skip 9.1 (or maybe put it into unstable
immediately). IMHO there's not much point in just finishing 9.1 to start
moving to 9.2 right away.
I think it's also OK to take some risks for unstable (like getting 9.1
there). Testing we'll get in experimental is even more limited than in
unstable (where also not that much testing happens for kfreebsd-*) and
having 9.1 would allow us to get some things started (like Intel KMS
drivers) that dfepend on a kernel > 9.0.
In the end however you, Petr and Steven are probably more the experts
to listen to than me however ;-)
