I know that unplanned API breakage is rare, but when it does happen, its absolutely brutal for end users. 2. a decent ports CI At least for committers, and for regular maintainers, we should be able to have some common-sense pre-commit build checks done at least on tier 1 architectures easily without human intervention. 3. jail creation and usage as non-root nuff said. 4. more programmable/scriptable configs I would love to see FreeBSD be the programmable server environment. - libxo all the things - more stuff like libifconfig libpf libzfs -- "lib-ify" all the things - UCL all the things A+ Dave
