  I guess this isn't _really_ an advocacy question, but it seems  
like a good place to ask anyway.

  When I was at WWDC this year Apple was showing off it's new  
pluggable networking stack.  Prettu impressive.  During the talk they  
gave a longish intro into how they were writing the drivers and  
such, via EmbeddedC++ etc.  However when I asked at the feedback  
forum if this stuff would be making it's way into FreebSD they said  
it would.

  Is this true?  Are the FreeBSD folks doing back ports of the  
Kernel Extensions system and EC++?  Or were they referring to the  
changes to the stack itself?  Is anyone reading this up on these  
changes?

Maury
