What oftentimes happens very late in the release cycle (and this was=20 true for 7.0) is that we find some issues that crop up that need to be=20 fixed. They're usually assigned pretty quickly to "owners" (in fact the = owners are oftentimes the ones that report these problems), so many=20 times there isn't a lot for other people to do, and these issues don't=20 even make it into the PR database. I admit that we could (and should) do better in communicating status to=20 other developers and the community at large. This is mostly helpful in=20 the early and middle stages of the release cycle. This is clearly *not* to say that FreeBSD doesn't need help with=20 testing, bug management, and so forth, in fact quite the opposite is=20 true. I mean only to say that 7.0 doesn't have anything blocking it. Thanks!
