Hi Matt, I hope this project manages to explore new boundaries of performance and am pleased that you chose the FreeBSD stable development branch as a suitable starting point for your endeavors. I hope Dragonfly will produce the same kinds of synergies with the FreeBSD Project that our ongoing relationships with NetBSD, OpenBSD, and various Linux projects have. I'm especially interested in seeing you succeed with your package management goals, where many other attempts have failed in that area. For our part, we're planning to release FreeBSD 4.9 with PAE support merged at the beginning of September. We certainly haven't ruled out further 4.X releases after that time either. As usual, our release related plans are available from http://www.FreeBSD.org/releng.
