This part is clear, kevent(2)/kqueue(2) and aio(3) are two diverse
projects. Just that there is an option that I will focus entirely on the
former and Raunaq on the latter during GSoC (and his master thesis).
While Runaq does not need to care about kevent(2)/kqueue(2) improvements
I can stop caring about implementing real aio(2) myself.
