We're starting the release process for FreeBSD 7.2-RELEASE.  The major
highlights of the schedule are:

        Code Freeze:            March 23rd
        BETA1                   March 30th
        Branch                  April 10th
        RC1                     April 13th
        RC2                     April 20th
        Release:                May 4th

The full schedule is here:

  http://www.freebsd.org/releases/7.2R/schedule.html

though most of "the other events" haven't been given specific dates yet.

Since it's often the case that developers process quite a few
outstanding MFCs during the last couple days before a code freeze starts
I have changed RELENG_7 to say it is 7.2-PRERELEASE now as a bit of a
heads-up that the release cycle is imminent.  You might need to be a
tiny bit more careful using RELENG_7 right now because the odds of you
getting a snapshot of the tree taken part way through someone doing
something that required multiple commits goes up during this phase of a
release.

Thanks.
