Using image2disk to upgrade 9.4.7 to 10.2

I need to upgrade a pair of 1600s running 9.4.7 in active/stand by mode and have a couple of questions. I chose 10.2 as the latest good release, am happy to use 10.1 if there is good reason to.   ...

I haven't seen any issues upgrading several different platforms on partitions from 9.x to 10.1.x while keeping the existing 9.x slot. But we've tested several times on a 6400 from 9.3 and 9.4.8 to 10.2.0 without finding a way to preserve the 9.x slot. I believe F5 Support confirmed in a case a colleague opened that there was no way to preserve the 9.x slot. You'd need to reinstall 9.x on partitions after upgrading to 10.2.0. Assuming we didn't miss anything, I am quite surprised that F5 would foist this kind of process on customers.
