Sure.  But when I ran into FreeBSD folks a few months ago (at the SoC
mentor summit) and talked about this a little, they had some definite
"well, we're trying to be realistic..." provisos... so they at least
don't want _everything_.  I just don't know what exactly they do want,
and it seems pointless to try to design a feature without even knowing
what the users demanding it want :-).
