July 7 stretch with July 14 fallback

That’s pretty terse, but I’d interpret it to mean “we’ll try to get it done July 7; it would be a stretch though, so we’ll have July 14 as a fallback.”

Considering the new release date is only 2 weeks away, and the Trac only shows 12% progress on WordPress 2.6 so far, I’d say it’s likely that many changes previously planned for 2.6 will be bumped to version 2.7.
