-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Any work in this area should make its debut as a port first, so that folks can try it out if they are so inclined. This isn't something that would find its way into the base anytime soon. But if the port is sufficiently superior to the current system (and therefore superior to the SysV system), then it should pick up enough momentum to get committed one day.
