Hi,

i guess a lot of us feel the same (mainly sadness) about the progress here and a lot of us have to feed penguins meanwhile...

I personally think, that the virtualization technology in general is one of the key technologies of tomorrow and therefore it makes me even more sad, that FreeBSD fell back that much these days (years!).

Therefore i ask myself whether this should be a major project in general and maybe the best way to push it (along with all the administrative and longterm problem) might be to get support from the FreeBSD Foundation, which successfully enabled Java for BSD some months ago (another key technology as i think). Otherwise it is very unprobably (in my eyes) that the little daemon ever will be playing in the ongoing cloud game and everything behind, which IS and WOULD BE a shame!

Maybe some of the core ppl can raise awareness here?

Best Kai
