I don't know that FreeBSD 6 design goals have been announced anywhere; in fact, FreeBSD 6 isn't even listed on the front page, and hasn't even had a New Technology release. At this point, I think FreeBSD 6 only exists because we basically need a Sith Apprentice (okay, maybe I'm carrying this a bit far, but there are always two of them, -STABLE and -CURRENT... and Ep.3 is still on my mind...) now that 5.x is -STABLE. It may be that 6.x will be more of an evolutionary series than revolutionary, and that its purpose is mostly to let SMPng mature and kill the Giant Lock, and hopefully let ACPI mature as well. You might have more luck getting a straight answer from the -current mailing list.
