What I have said is that the dragonfly vkernel work is the interesting 
beginning of a project, but that further work needs to be done before 
the project is finished in the sense of having reasonable performance, 
and anyone approaching a FreeBSD port needs to be aware of the scope of 
the work needed.

If you feel that is "belittling" you, then I'll have to beg your 
indulgence for not also donning a miniskirt and pompoms.

Now that's an image I bet you all weren't expecting.  Hah!  :-D
