Much of *code* that you are are screaming for *EXISTS* in FreeBSD today,
and guess what, it doesn't work very well, because of all the problems
I've pointed out.

I wrote the code, so there's no need for roadmaps and/or long
discussions about the merits of it.  The basic problem that Warner was
discussing is a 'fact of life', and fixing it to never occur is simply
not possible, and making it better than it already is implies a huge
overhead.
