How about July 7?
Would be perfect to release FreeBSD 7.0 on 2007-07-07.  ;-)

Just kidding, of course ...  I'm aware that that would be
too early, unfortunately.  It's better take more time for
testing and shaking out the bugs.

Personally I think that 7.0 will be a huge success.  People
will love things like gjournal, ZFS, the improvements in
the TCP and threading areas etc.  It's a pity that dtrace
doesn't seem to make it into the release, though.

Best regards
