Hi. I know this is a bit off-topic but it will probably have some impact on the ongoing work with FreeBSD. As most know by now Apple will base it's next-generation hardware on the x86-architecture moving away from the PowerPC. My hope is that Apple will take the direction away from Darwin and the Mach-kernel and adopt a more stock FreeBSD userland and kernel. FreeBSD may already benefit from some of the work done or funded by Apple but it would be easier to integrate new functionality (in both directions) if Apple were to base it's OS XI on a Apple-tuned but otherwise GENERIC kernel.
