More generally, I'd like to identify areas where the kernel APIs of the various projects have diverged and see what, if anything, can be done about them. I'd also like to get commitment from the various controlling bodies of the *BSD projects to a statement something along the lines of: We support the identification of API differences between the various BSDs. We generally support the idea of merging the APIs, but reserve the right to veto anything too radical. I've been trying to put together some compatibility shims for newconfig drivers in FreeBSD's new-bus world and have run accross a number of minor differences that would be trivial to fix.
