"When it's ready" used to be the scheduling principle.
Then came 5.0 debacle: behind schedule big-time (and arguably
not ready when it went out the door).
I remember discussion afterwards, where there seemed to be
agreement there ought to be a more-or-less regular schedule of major
releases every two years (plus or minus) with minor releases every
few months.
Looking at "www.freebsd.org/releases/index.html", that's
getting stretched. The RC-1 announcement for 7.1, originally
scheduled for early September, is now listed as last week ... and
didn't actually happen. (Unless I missed the memo.)
