Hi,
DragonflyBSD interesting to me but I do not really understand the meaning of the existence of the project ;-) Do you have some kind of roadmap and/or goals? According the history page DFLYBSD is fork of FreeBSD. However, it is unclear why this is the fork, but not, for example, a branch in http://svnweb.freebsd.org/base/projects/. Perhaps with its own kernel and scheduler. I've see in commit log that more than 50% commit - a sync code with FreeBSD/other or something like that. During the 13 years of the project, all what DFLY developers to have (sorry, as far as I can see) for the end-user - is new and modern file system HAMMERFS v2 (which is not yet ready for production yet). I understand that you are not targeting on any commercial or market. Moreover, in a world where dominated by Linux it is impossible now. And without the market and without funding, the development is very slow. Perhaps there is a reason to combine code base with FreeBSD? This will prevent a lot of work on the code merging/synchronization. Furthermore, today we a need for architectures other than x86-64. FreeBSD is quite efficient in the arm and mips architectures - I'd really like to see DragonFlyBSD on arm platforms. It is very interesting for me whats the goals on DragonFlyBSD developers. And the most important thing - what deadline/time do you give to this. Looking back in 2003, when project was founded, have you seen at the time that in 2016 DragonFly will be such project so what now there? Just try to understand in DF. Thank you for your work and answers!
