I'm especially encouraged by the committment to fix the VFS subsystem so that stackable filesystems will really work, by the caching/locking discussion, and the acknowledgement that system configuration and packages need a publish-subscribe (not Matt's words) mechanism. Manuel Kasper's m0n0wall configuration system, XML-based, is really cool. You could easily extend it to signed XML for trusted packages/components. Crypto and ACL filesystems could finally be done in a modular, stackable way. Esp. if the messaging subsystem works as advertised. This announcement has made an otherwise dreary and mind-numbing day at work a little better, thanks.
