I only see an advantage of wait after FreeBSD 6 is that will allowing many third parties such as esclipe, ruby-gtk2/ruby-gnome2 and etc to catch up and release the tarball. I have no problem with GNOME 12 so far as I don't use esclipe and etc. It's only a few apps so far. If you are insteresting to help more on debug, feedback and etc, then install GNOME 2.12 right away and we will do our best to help you out.
