I couldn't make heads or tail of that middle line ... wrong number of digits
for hex I think????   :-D

I totally agree, FreeBSD is a cool operaing system.

As for the delay, I am in no way "official" ... I will speculate that 
there are
still a few things on the "to do" list that are, well, yet to "be done".  It
was so when I visited there last week.

And, <</me sticks tongue out at Redmond>> instead of dropping the
desired features to rush the release, they'll hold the release tag until
the features are ready.

So, we'll all need to remember that "Patience is a virtue."  And,
"Good things come to those who wait." Also, "beggars can't be 
choosers???"  :-D
