I doubt that there's much "big" in the ambit of "Unix-like OS"
that isn't already in the 8-current series.

In a project like FreeBSD, "what's in the roadmap" equates
pretty closely with "what are the developers working on", and
that is summarised in the quarterly status reports, such as this
one:
http://www.freebsd.org/news/status/report-2009-01-2009-03.html

As for when any of this will "hit the tree" and find its way
into a release, that's very much a "how long is a piece of
string" sort of question; not really the way FreeBSD works.
Particularly since it moved to a calendar-based release
schedule.

IMO, YMMV, i-do-not-speak-for-freebsd, etc.

Cheers,
