Yeah, I actually wasn't aware of the net and fs stuff at first. It works great
though, I was just continuing from what someone else had mentioned, and then it
got turned into kerneld for freebsd. I originally simply wanted to see about
options sort of like kerneld. I mean, maybe a utility that can load modules and
all itself, or at the very least, a mechanism to manage the growing number of
modules in the kernel. Anyway, the questions we should ask are: What are the
shortcomings of the current kld 'module' system? What type of support would we
like to see?
