hello, while i was drawn to netbsd because of the upcoming lua support in the kernel and userland, i am quite lost about the probable use cases for real-world scenarios.
prima-face, it feels quite strange to have a scriptable kernel and have that capability extended through out the userland. i have been googling (via lynx) and haven't found anything which would suggest possible use cases for the lua-in-kernel effort. might be because my google skills are poor. can someone with access to such a document please share the details? also, if the lua-in-kernel effort does succeed, would there be some mechanism to turn it off while doing a customized build? can't figure how useful such a feature might be in a production environment like web-app hosting or even an embedded system. thanks, ~mayuresh
