This idea has come up a few times and I'd love to see it happen! =20 =2E.. [grabs flag and starts running forward] I'm willing to head up the app framework that'd handle this and am more than eager to see it succeed. This idea has come up a few too many times and is too ripe with potential to be ignored or talked about as a "gee wouldn't it be nice if" idea and then let sit in the dust bin for another few months until it comes up again. The two camps that'll hopefully be interested are performance junkies (need technical expertise for tuning) and app developers (have to put the knowledge someplace useful that's updatable). -sc --=20 Sean Chittenden --xtx0sNU5lZ46KfgK Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Comment: Sean Chittenden <sean@chittenden.org> iEYEARECAAYFAjtKMaEACgkQn09c7x7d+q2eyACfX1E06nQpneP3/bOAAJ68hObD TF8AnjkHFyS5i1bQS2W7/My0RjGIHUsJ =zVVV -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --xtx0sNU5lZ46KfgK-- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
