yes, I contracted with Matt Macy, and I'd do it again, but he's well-employed now.

Funny how you didn't complain about his current employment at AWS, or his previous work at iX Systems (trueNAS, primarily responsible for the port of ZFS on Linux to FreeBSD) or the fact that the whole epoch based reclamation in the FreeBSD kernel is based on his work.

I'm sure the LKML will enjoy his commits just as much as FreeBSD did
yes, I'm sure that FreeBSD actually does enjoy all of his work on OpenZFS and epoch-based reclamation.
No wonder y'all are pivoting to Linux I suppose :)

Also you should stop editing your comments after they're replied to. It makes it awfully confusing

We already have a linux-based product (TNSR).

Bringing that tech stack to a firewall is a logical move.
