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. -Matt Matthew Dillon Engineering, HiWay Technologies, Inc. & BEST Internet Communications & God knows what else.
