Correct me if I'm wrong, but most of the things (or maybe just the ideas?) you have implemented seems to be coming from NetBSD. If so, could you share other NetBSD stuff you'd like to see on Bitrig ?

Congratulations on the 1.0 !

For me personally, better armv7 support. Even though many things stem from our hands, NetBSD and FreeBSD are a great resource. I have already started working on SMP support, based on their example.

Otherwise I do not have any NetBSD stuff in mind. Can't speak for our other developers though. ;)

I would love to have FreeBSD's bhyve on Bitrig. I will dedicate some time in January for that goal. DragonflyBSD is an inspiration for us, too. We have an experimental branch (smpns) for revamping the kernel for decent SMP support.

You guys plan to add the best bits of Solaris that everyone else has? To wit: dtrace, zfs and some kind of zone/cgroup idea?

When will you guys be working on implementing jails or another containerisation solution?

Pretty much every other major OS out there like GNU/Linux, FreeBSD and Solaris offer some sort of solution like that, but OpenBSD and co sadly do not.

Something like that would give me a good deal of motivation to switch.
