+      <p>The &os; Release Engineering Team is responsible for setting
+	and publishing release schedules for official project releases
+	of &os;, announcing code freezes and maintaining the
+	respective branches, among other things.</p>
+
+      <p>The &os; Release Engineering Team completed the 10.3-RELEASE
+	cycle late April, led by &a.marius;.  The release was one week
+	behind the original schedule, to accommodate for a few last
+	minute critical issues that were essential to include in the
+	final release.</p>
+
+      <p>The &os; 11.0-RELEASE cycle started late May, one month
+	behind the orignal schedule.  The schedule slip was primarily
+	to accommodate for packaging the &os; base system with the
+	<tt>pkg(8)</tt> utility.  However, as work on this progressed,
+	it became apparent that there were too many outstanding
+	issues.  As a result, packaged base will be a "beta" feature
+	for 11.0-RELEASE, with the goal of promoting it to a
+	first-class feature in 11.1-RELEASE, with additional
+	provisions to ensure a seamless transition for earlier
+	supported releases.</p>
+
+      <p>Despite the fact that packaged base is not going to be a
+	prime feature for &os; 11.0-RELEASE, the Release
+	Engineering Team would like to thank everyone who tested,
+	provided patches, provided ideas and feedback, and in some
+	cases, shot themselves in the foot due to bugs.</p>
