My WordPress dashboard keeps reminding me to upgrade to the latest version of WordPress 2.6.2 but I am holding off because WordPress 2.7 is expected sometime early next month.
The WordPress roadmap says that version 2.7 release is planned for November 10, 2008 and now there’s a "not so official" WordPress Upgrade party on the same day at CubeSpace to celebrate the launch of 2.7.
That may be a strong hint that WordPress 2.7 release may go as per schedule. Go here or here to see a list of all features that are expected to be part of WordPress 2.7 or check this detailed review of what’s coming next in WordPress 2.7.

I can’t wait! WordPress 2.6 was a pretty major upgrade, with luck some of the framework changes they’re talking about with 2.7 will help improve the tool even more.

Yes. I am waiting for that myself. It has got a unbuilt plugin manager and many other cool features.
