You get to retirement before the game is over... Perhaps I should have mentioned this before, I didn't because I thougt the potential candidates knew that: IEEE Computer has scheduled an issue in 1996 on 32 bit operating system. The deadline has expired, and I did know enough about the internals of the OS to write something myself (not that I would have done it without asking to the list in advance). Maybe it would have been a good chance to present the experimental issues that are being covered in FreeBSD-current.
