I haven't really been following this unfortunately but I see at least 
part got done. (ifconfig)

is there anything we need to do before 9.0 that is small but would

One thing that I haven't done and I only recently remembered, was the 
ability to have a socket inherit
it's fib from the incoming connection SYN instead of from the socket

(at least I am pretty sure I never got that done. (must go check)).
