Indeed. Also I think that this project cannot be achieved easily by
only one/two person's efforts. I believe having this kind of prototype
makes our discussion easier. We are going to prepare the materials
for our further discussion.

Now we got new friends :) Mr. Watanabe is going FreeBSDCon
(unfortunately I cannot), you can discuss this matter with him.
I think the time has come to start!
Thank you very much.
