"We'd like to have used FreeBSD for this project, but it doesn't support SACK. We're at a difficult juncture here, since on the one hand it's widely acknowledged that we're (almost) all volunteers, so no one can tell us what to work on. :) OTOH, some members of the project have said that they'd like $SOMEONE to provide guidance to the project as a whole. I think this might be a good area for someone official (which is certainly not me) to stand up and say, "Yes, the project wants SACK, who's up for it?"
