Dennis, the "secrecy" that Jordan eluded to concerns the "commercial interest" of other companies. For those of us that know what's going on in the bigger picture, we aren't at liberty to discuss what those companies are planning; you'll have to wait for their announcements. One or more of them might have a significant impact on the development of SMP for FreeBSD. You'll just have to wait. -DG David Greenman Core-team/Principal Architect, The FreeBSD Project
