What are the differences between 6.3 and 7.0? Which should
be considered the 
standard upgrade path from 6.2 release? Is there a
compelling reason to 
upgrade to one over the other?

7.0 is the recommended choice; 6.3 is only for people who
cannot update 
to the new branch yet.

Great presentation! Is this linked to from anywhere on the
FreeBSD site
or the wiki? It definitely deserves more widespread
distribution.

Thanks!  It hasnt yet been promoted much because it is quite
new 
(presented at BSDCON-Tr in Istanbul last Friday).  We'll
definitely be 
giving it more publicity though.
