It may be that an announcement of the sort: FreeBSD 4.5 is now going into the Beta release cycle; those interested in it may wish to participate in the QA process (instructions...) (preview of big-feature release notes). may be appropriate for future releases, and that's worth discussing. If nothing else, it might drum up more interest in upcoming releases, or get people to test things.
