:> A permanent vnode locking fix is many months away because core

:> However, I agree with the idea of having Kirk fix VNode locking.

Let me put it this way: You didn't bother to inform anyone else who
might have reason to be interested until it came up as an offhand
comment at USENIX. Perhaps you should consider not keeping such important
events to yourself, eh? Frankly, I am rather miffed -- if I had known
that Kirk had expressed an interest a month ago I would have been able
to pool our interests earlier. Instead I've been working in a vacuum
for a month because I didn't know that someone else was considering trying
to solve the problem. This does not fill me with rosy feelings.
