Hmm, no matter how long time passes its still a mess.

And about leaving, well, I'm afraid you guys will have to stick
with me :), I'm going to shake this (FreeBSD) out as long as it 
takes, or until somebody carries me out screaming :)

On that note, I think we badly need a "house clean" through
the entire system, especially the kernel, but also parts of
userland, we have way to much crap in there because of not
thinking things through before pulling the trigger. If my 12+
years in this business has learned me anything its the 80/20
rule: think it through for 80% of the time then use 20% of 
the time to implement it correctly.

Well, I probably wasn't on multimedia at that time, and that doesn't
make the hack more "right", besides there is only so many things 
you can keep an eye on..
