I think the gist of it is that the FreeBSD project will certainly
consider bringing in runtime environments for just about anything,
however entertaining the idea of it becoming an "official" extention
and replacing or bringing in core-code that requires said runtime
or language will most likely not be allowed until the tool is
allowed to settle for some number of years.
