Warner asked a question. I expressed an opinion. This is the forum for
such opinions. If I have time and it is appropriate for me to do so, I
will help design and implement such a system for FreeBSD. I'm not
currently working directly on subsystems that have intermediate mappings
that can go away, but I *am* involved in both the CAM design and the stuff
Justin is talking about for incorporating CAM3, so I believe that your
attempts to tag me as a criminal don't apply.
