You can hack unix kernels if you can make changes to them, the changes
work and don't break other things, and other people are willing to use
your changes.   It sounds to me like you've already found that you
qualify!

This seems like a reasonable conclusion.

Well, if we can get a 4.4BSD-lite distribution in the not too distant
future, it's conceivable that we could merge NetBSD stuff into it and
have something working by Usenix, although I wouldn't want to take
odds on it.   It's certainly a worthwhile goal to set, anyway.
