is THIS why the 6.2 release seems stalled ?

Don't know about some of the items, but...
    -Flash support with Mozilla products is being done through Mozilla's 
ActionScript Engine: 
<http://www.adobe.com/aboutadobe/pressroom/pressreleases/200611/110706Mozilla.html>. 
So, I expect the latest version of Adobe's Flash Player to be supported 
on all Unix platforms to some extent in the future. Sound support will 
be interesting though.
    -Isn't Xen handled by the Xen project and not FreeBSD?
    Seems like your comment (was related) but off-topic.
