Everything starts somewhere.  When I wrote my first FreeBSD article a
few years ago, I had no idea where it would lead.  Keep it up, and the
Project might well ask you to make it an official FreeBSD resource.

If you start now, in a few months you'll have patchsets for 4.2-R,
4.3-R, 4.4-R, and 4.5-R.  That looks like a pretty serious investment
of time and/or dedication to me.

It's cliche, but: ten thousand lines of code begins with the first
#define.  (Hmmmm.... click click click... okay, style(9) says it
should be the first #include.  But you get the idea.)
