May be also decent attempt on amd64 ?
On the other hand, given upstream schedule, 
it might be better to focus on stabilizing FreeBSD 6.x 
and use it for both i386 and amd64 in near future.

Jan 30: Freeze RELENG_5 and RELENG_6
Mar 20: Release FreeBSD 6.1
Apr  3: Release FreeBSD 5.5
Jun 12: Freeze RELENG_6
Jul 31: Release FreeBSD 6.2
Oct 23: Freeze RELENG_6
Dec 11: Release FreeBSD 6.3
