    I'm only going to respond to the opinion section of the post, not the
    technical patch.

    "The successor of the very stable and reliable line of the FreeBSD 4.x
    series is the development line of DragonFlyBSD." -http://gobsd.com/bsd

    My question to that author would be "Why base something off of something
    unstable?"

    For the record, we run over 35,000 FreeBSD machines all over the world
    (real number is higher, I'm just giving you the last total I have) as
    production, 24/7 machines on our own network. We are fine with DragonFly
    too, but its more like choosing from types of the same fruit, not
    necessarily apples and oranges.. think Golden Delicious vs Red Delicious.

    I don't have anything to technically discuss the memory concerns in that
    patch only that everything is solvable. Yahoo and hundreds of other
    companies rely on FreeBSD for production equipment.
