It may be something to suggest for the next round of Google's Summer  
of Code. Or perhaps part of a school project in operating systems work  
(master's level? eager-beaver bachelor's thesis?).

Having a bit more flexibility in being able to make different  
components "pluggable" would help encourage the use of BSD in more  
research projects. And more people learning and hacking on BSD can't  
be a bad thing. :)
