I'm not sure if that would be useful for the DragonFly project, I'll let
Matt decide on that.  But everything pretty fundamental, such as the
TrustedBSD project, detracts us from reaching the goal DragonFly is
striving towards, namely: easy and fast clustering, scalability, and
stability.
Of course, Matt should correct me if I totally misinterpreted something,
but this should be one of those 'wannahaves' to be put on the backburner
for a while.
Additionally it seems possible to implement a good portion of the
TrustedBSD stuff along with the symlink-/filesystem work!? Maybe it's
good to put it in there to get a more "native" solution for DF rather
then modifying ufs with yet another (suboptimal) patchset.
Or did I get the idea of the new stuff wrong?

Also, note that we're not trying to compete with OpenBSD here.  The
projects' aims lie in way different directions.
There is always competition and as we germans say: "Konkurrenz belebt
das Geschäft" ~ "competition improves business vividly"
And you will agree of course, that security is a must-have in any modern
operating system.
