Hello, I am interested in doing a GSoC project this year with the idea "Write a new boot environment manager" on the ideas list. (https://wiki.freebsd.org/SummerOfCodeIdeas#Write_a_new_boot_environment_manager) I would like to ask a few questions involving this. First, is there a particular reason why this project is listed in the ideas list? Aside the fact the current implementation in sh is rather complicated, I was unable to come up with a reason to justify the reimplementation. Second, is making the new implmentation of beadm(1) platform independent and promoting it across the various OpenZFS implmentation / communities as some sort of "standard" implmentation a good idea, or is it over-zealous / outside of the project scope / intrusive to other projects. As for a late self introduction, my name is Tomoya Tabuchi, and I am a undergraduate student at Doshisha University in Japan. I will start my third year in university in April. Regards, Tomoya
