[Several vendor contacts in BCC.]
For those that did not notice the website update adding the 11.2-RELEASE
cycle schedule, I apologize for sending this to public lists this late.
I thought I had done this, but apparently not.
The 11.2-RELEASE release cycle will begin April 20, 2018

You know that, and I know that. :) I just wanted to be sure that no one
got the impression that anyone other than me was
branch of FreeBSD. Hopefully the
reasoning for this is obvious, we want to avoid POLA violations.
Actually not. My own POV is that we should follow the vendor release
cycle, and not the FreeBSD release cycle, for the contributed software.
I do not advocate immediate upgrade of the third-party

Just FYI, we are about a week away from starting code freeze for the
8.1-RELEASE release cycle. Since sometimes that means stable/8 gets
a little less reliable due to higher than normal levels of developer
activity I'll adjust the branch to say it is 8.1-PRERELEASE now.
The target schedule
Just a quick note to say we're beginning the release cycle for
7.3-RELEASE. Code freeze on stable/7 began now, and stable/7 has been
adjusted to say that it is 7.3-PRERELEASE to reflect that.
More details will follow but this is the current target schedule:

You are focusing on released version numbers when

At BSDCan, Ken Smith mentioned that 7.0 is due to be branched in July and

The ports tree is not even close to stable enough to release
