"16bit v 32bit": I took the time to look into what the night dos kernel group has achieved so far in the 3+ years that it exists. simple conclusion: this not going to be a DOS kernel. ever. what they describe as goal is some sort of OS/2, WINDOWS 3.11 for work groups, or similar. multitasking, DOS compatible (and redefine the desktop metaphor ;). at the same time all the source indicates that they are newbie programmers, and also completely new to 8086 assembler, but insist on doing all work in assembly. this project is not going to succeed, at least not with these people, and not in our lifetime. my vote: remove from road map. "UEFI": your argument is wrong. a BIOS emulator on top of UEFI is possible. this would load the FreeDOS boot sector, everything else as normal. practically people able to fulfill such (very advanced) stunt are usually not motivated to spend a year of their life on obsolete stuff. insofar my vote: "not going to happen unless a white knight in shiny armor shows up. don't hold your breath."
