:I understand that, but I do not want to move to those branches (for similar
:reasons you started DragonFly BSD in the first place). I would be willing to
:backport GEOM myself. I do not care if it does not get committed to RELENG_4
:or anywhere, I want this functionality, primarily because of GBDE and GEOM
:GATE. Could you tell me more about your plans regarding GEOM and DragonFly BSD,
:I do recall you mentioning in an interview that you want GEOM backported.

:ALeine

    I don't have any plans to backport GEOM.  We have plans to create a 
    more generic device and vfs infrastructure, which is similar, but 
    we have no plans to backport the actual GEOM code.
