I only see an advantage of wait after FreeBSD 6 is that will allowing many  
third parties such as esclipe, ruby-gtk2/ruby-gnome2 and etc to catch up  
and release the tarball. I have no problem with GNOME 12 so far as I don't  
use esclipe and etc. It's only a few apps so far.

If you are insteresting to help more on debug, feedback and etc, then  
install GNOME 2.12 right away and we will do our best to help you out.
