I for one would be interested in this project.
I'd say if your code is written according to these principles,
it has a very good chance of getting incorporated:
- Cleanly formatted according to style(9)
- Well documented
- Orthogonal: if "options IPSEC" is not specified, then no extra
garbage is included in a "normal" kernel. Minimal changes to
existing files.
- Works :-)
- Written in such a way as to be easily understood and maintainable
by a geographically (and otherwise) diverse crowd of FreeBSD hackers :-)
