So what do we need to get this long-delayed functionality?  Anyone you
think could do it and should be prodded into doing so?  We're about to
seriously go head-to-head with Linux for "mindshare" in 2.1 (trust me,
folks, this is imminent :-) as we start playing dueling PR campaigns,
and I'd really rather not have magazines coming back at me with "Linux
worked in our testing lab - FreeBSD fell over" as I'm working overtime
to get them to publish articles about us.

Thanks!
