FreeBSD 7 was discussed in May at BSDCan, and I expect it to be 
discussed at EuroBSDCon in a few weeks.  In general, I think that we
are going to continue on the path of promising releases and not
features.  The release date for 7.0 will likely be in mid to late
2007.  As more details are agreed on they will be published, but
again it's important to remember that we got ourselves into big
trouble with 5.x by trying to pack too many features into it.
