I've been watching it (and testing release candidates) since 2.x, so
I think I may possibly have some understanding of it by now. ;-)

Mostly true. But the new release would undergo extensive testing, and
changes which were "not ready for prime time" would be rolled back or
made solid. I've had enough trouble with some recent snapshots of
-STABLE that I'd rather install a release that's been thoroughly
tested... preferably with the latest ports. That's why I'm asking
about the likely actual release date of 7.1.
