I’d say, anything to encourage people to try, use and join to develop [illumos] is very welcome. Better laptop support will definitely be bonus.
Betting better graphics support would be higher on the list (yea, the other 'dropped' project).

While the work itself is probably interesting, and it may enable new applications for illumos, the concern I’d have would be detraction from other more pressing work, without any clear use cases for it. That said, if someone (you?) wanted to spend cycles on this for personal satisfaction, I hardly see any reason to discourage it, and I’m fairly certain if the risks of the new code being introduced are small (or well managed by sufficient testing for example), I can’t see any other reason we would reject a suitably formed RTI.

One of the incomplete projects left behind was S4 (lack of need, and a hard to identify bug stifled it's integration). It is non-trivial, and needs updated s/r core code (added configuration and significant restructuring, as well as likely assistance from developers knowlegable in other Illumos internals), but if this is an uninteresting feature, it is likey not worth the effort (recent bugs suggest that few if anyone use it); however, it wouldn't be too hard to resurect (though would still take several months of work).
