I'm not sure there even is one. :) The road that is taken depends mostly on what the people working on the code want to tackle, I guess. Looking at the -current mailing list should probably give you an idea what is being worked on. Personally I don't think roadmaps are all that usefull for open source projects that depend on volunteer work. Volunteers tend to work on an area that either scratches an itch for them or that interests them.=20 =20 > What exactly is 8.x trying to accomplish ? Generally, CURRENT is a branch to introduce changes that would be too intrusive in the release brances or STABLE. Other than that, you'd better ask on the -current or -hackers list.
