How about July 7? Would be perfect to release FreeBSD 7.0 on 2007-07-07. ;-) Just kidding, of course ... I'm aware that that would be too early, unfortunately. It's better take more time for testing and shaking out the bugs. Personally I think that 7.0 will be a huge success. People will love things like gjournal, ZFS, the improvements in the TCP and threading areas etc. It's a pity that dtrace doesn't seem to make it into the release, though.
