    Hi Matt,

      I hope this project manages to explore new boundaries of performance
    and am pleased that you chose the FreeBSD stable development branch as
    a suitable starting point for your endeavors. I hope Dragonfly will
    produce the same kinds of synergies with the FreeBSD Project that our
    ongoing relationships with NetBSD, OpenBSD, and various Linux projects
    have. I'm especially interested in seeing you succeed with your
    package management goals, where many other attempts have failed in
    that area.

      For our part, we're planning to release FreeBSD 4.9 with PAE support
    merged at the beginning of September. We certainly haven't ruled out
    further 4.X releases after that time either. As usual, our release
    related plans are available from http://www.FreeBSD.org/releng.

      Good luck,

      - Murray
