I appreciate your work on this -- truly I do -- but the above statement
is incredible.  This is not meant as a flame-inducer, but there's really
no other way to phrase it:

This IS NOT what "production-ready" means to the rest of us,
particularly those of us in the server world.  A single developer
running such code on their workstation for a few months is in no way
identical to that of a heavily I/O-bound server.

I thought freebsd.org (or maybe ISC?) offered some test/development
boxes on the 'net available to developers who could test such code +
perform stress tests over long periods of time?  I'm probably mistaken,
but I was under that impression.
