: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.
:

I've read the RE docs before, but don't recall if there's a "Feature 
Freeze" date for releases that we plan on?  Might help in organizing 
what's expected way before a release date.  Not sure how that idea works 
in FreeBSD-developer land, though.

$0.02; Cheers,
Andrew
