And congratulations and thanks to the entire FreeBSD release engineering team and the contributors. It's a .0 release, but my experience with it through the release cycle has been excellent. I especially appreciate the new USB stack which has fixed all sorts of annoying issues (and a couple that were a lot more than annoying) in the old stack. Great job! -- R.
