There have been some questions on the lists about what to expect from
release x.y and I personnally have always looked at the TODO list like
http://www.freebsd.org/releases/6.0R/todo.html
For 6.0 I noticed there were more updates on that page for bugs and
their fixes than for features per se. My sugestion, maybe at a first
stage setting the TODO list has it's advantages, one knows what to
expect from a release, it's clearly stated and documented there and
the developers can see their goals.
This is valid for minor and major releases of course.

How about it?
