From BSDForums: The FreeBSD-STABLE branch (development branch for 4-STABLE) of the source tree has now been frozen in preparation for the release of FreeBSD 4.7. This means that any new commits to the -stable source tree must be approved by the Release Engineering Team first. The expected “ship” date for FreeBSD 4.7 is October 1, 2002.

Hopefully the release process will be less painful this time (though it’s hard to foresee the troubles that the release engineering team ran into last time).
It’s a solid piece of work though.
Go FreeBSD…I expect the release to be very good, as every release has been. No matter what anybody says, they did “the right thing” last time, even if it was confusing.
What kind of changes have they made since 4.6?
