Last time I read > the drafts, there were still significant omissions, particularly > addressing the way that a UDI driver might integrate with the system All the more reason for someone with some time to get involved now rather than later and finding out that there are significant architecture drawbacks which could possibily make UDI unfeasible for FreeBSD. Someone could probably make a case for FreeBSD given that Yahoo , Oracle, and a few other large companies are using FreeBSD and making money where as in the Linux camp thats probably a rarity .
