I'd be interested in seeing submissions of this sort, including mass
deployment, new research done on the platform, etc.  The development
status report is limited to new development on -CURRENT, and can include
status on merging of features to -stable, the release process, etc.  At
one point, Jordan was spitting out a FreeBSD news letter once in a while. 
Dunno if we'll ever see it again, but I thought that was a good idea, and
was part of the impetus for exploring a monthly electronic report. 

Of course, I've never received status information from Jordan :-).
