Maybe turn them into a port once they're stable? I'm unlikely to invest the effort to make them work in the wide variety of networks out there (e.g. other address families, weird interface types, etc). If people think that they would be useful despite being ethernet-only, IPv4-only, FreeBSD-only, and maybe x86-only[*], then they're welcome (I guess that would still include 99% of FreeBSD installations). Let's talk about it once there's code worth sharing.
