We don't want UVM.
It isn't quite true that there is nobody working on the VM system: There
are at least four of us who know enough about it to work on it and
probably another half a dozen specialists, but nobody as good as John was.
I actually like FreeBSD's VM system - It has a few more hacks then it
should, but nothing that can't be evolved out.
There's definitely a ramp-up period involved, though.
