      Yes, this is precisely what I had in mind, too.

      I found the relevant post:

      From: Michael Bushkov <bushman@rsu.ru>
      List-Id: Technical Discussions relating to FreeBSD
              <freebsd-hackers.freebsd.org>
      Subject: Re[2]: nscd for freebsd
      Date: Fri, 20 Jun 2003 17:43:06 +0400

      It seems that the person in the CC was involved in the first
      discussion, too; these are in fact the same guys from RSU.

      So, to the guys from RSU: why is a dynamically-linked-root important
      for the daemon dispatcher/cache engine idea?
