Are you using Team System or something else (internal product) to do the ZBB coordination and release integration? Or any plans to do it?
I'd love to hear how to plan the transition or how it is/will be used in the prod environment.
Good luck for zero "bounce"!

Is there any propsective release date for ZBB yet?

The is no "ZBB release" per se. Rather, ZBB is a milestone on the road to Beta2.

will there be any intermediate releases like the CTP drops before Beta 2?

Yes, we plan to continue delivering CTPs on a regular basis (and in advance of Beta2).

Is the "MSDN Product Feedback Center" really connected to the development team's bug lists?

It seems that the old "Beta Place" bug reporting was much more responsive than the feedback center.

This is on the basis of a small sample size (5) of bugs that I have reported thus far. Some are almost three weeks old & not really acknowledged.

Mark: Thanks for your feedback. Currently we are averaging around 6 days for a response to issues being filed on the feedback centers. To dig deeper into your specific case I would need to get the links to the issues you are referring to. This system, like whidbey itself, is still in beta so it's possible there are some things being overlooked.

FDBK13101 - Posted 8/3
FDBK12829 - Posted 8/3
FDBK13102 - Posted 8/2, response on 8/3 ('investigating')
FDBK13589 - Posted 8/11, response on 8/16 ('investigating')
FDBK13103 - Posted 8/2, response on 8/10 ('working on solution')
FDBK12831 - Posted 8/2, response on 8/19 ('sent to dev to be fixed')

So the issue is really the first 3 or maybe 4

Mark:
131101... You should have gotten an initial responce on 8/3, but since then you hit a hole. The bug was actually determined to be an issue for the Compact Framework team. Internally, they are in another database and our feedback center is currently tied to only one database. The intent is that once, the linked issue is resolved someone will respond again. The CF team is investigating the issue. Here is the latest comment "Upon further investigation, it appears that CE does not actually support GlobalAlloc, which is the method that AllocHGlobal wraps. In the CE headers, GlobalAlloc is #define'd to be LocalAlloc. There is, therefore, no benefit to providing these methods to the user.

The docs need to be correct and other such "Target Platform" errors need to be identified.

FDBK12829,FDBK13102 : You hit the same hole again with these two issues. You should hear back once the bugs in the non-linked database are resolved. They are not yet.

The others are in que and being worked on.

Nice responses - I'm glad that I found this blog! Proof once again that the blogs are worthwhile to both Microsoft & Microsoft customers as far as I am concerned. BTW, I found this blog as a reference from the Scobelizer blog...
