Even though FreeBSD 7.x is already out and updated, the FreeBSD team keeps working on the FreeBSD 6.x branch, now designated the legacy branch. They released FreeBSD 6.4 today, with lots of new features, fixes, and updates. They are expecting FreeBSD 6.4 to be the last release in the 6.x branch.

Various show-stopper bugs were found, requiring fixing, testing, and re-testing. A couple security issues were found with 6+ that also required fixing, testing, and re-testing. A few big MFCs were allowed in, which also required extra testing and retesting. Finally, everything has solidified to the point where everyone on the RE team is confident it's ready for final RC testing.
IOW, life happened.
