How are package chosen for an OSX release ?

Greetings,

Simple question: how are the "packages" composing the BSD layer chosen ? I'm talking about all those command line thingies, scripting environments and stuff like that. I am particularly interested in knowing the time between the decision that package X makes it to the final release and the time it is effectively added.

Why am I asking this ? Well, Ruby 1.8 is supposed to be shipped in a few weeks and I would *love* to see the aging 1.6.7 of Jaguar be replaced by the 1.8 in Panther... :)

Oh and another quicky: FreeBSD kernel 4.8 - FreeBSD 5.0 layer in Panther, does this mean we're going to get kqueue/kevent ? :)
