Will FreeBSD 7.0 be the next stable version, or is it going to be a technology preview? (going by the names on the website)

FBSD 7.0 will be the first stable release of the 7 branch and it will be production ready. The 6 branch will also see a new release soon, 6.3.

The next stable version. 5.0 was the only "technology preview" we have done, because it basically was not finished. Based on the stress testing and QA work we have done I think 7.0 will be an excellent production release.
