With all the talk about adding support for hot plugging items into the system. Would it make sense to utilize Apple's work with IOKit in FreeBSD ? I know that this could be a BIG project- but why reproduce what apple is giving away ? It looks to be a really nice driver architecture. Would the APSL license stand in the way ??? I think that it would be mutually beneficial - Apple's Intel effort would acquire drivers by the boatload and the BSD community would have one cool driver development framework. Would the BSD community support such a project ???? More information is available here for the interested.
