Another source, the Wikipedia uses a similiar split, although they 
are mentioning Exokernel models as well.

I was wondering, apart from the difference of opinion about thread 
handling BSD should have, is this project going to address the kernel 
model issue as well?

According to you, is the BSD kernel monolithic, layered or 
client\server  (microkernel) oriented?


See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DragonFly_BSD#Kernel_architecture.

I have read through the article and I am left with a question:
In what way will the Dragonfly BSD be a hybrid of monolithic and 
microkernel model?
Although this question seems to be answered in the text, it would be 
nice to have a black-and-white list, explanation, with a number of 
diagrams explaining the exact intended architecture of the kernel.
Which services will stay in the kernel, which will be moved over to the 
user space? Can we see a more detailed elaboration on the context 
switching and message passing between the two spaces?
Personally I find the lack of proper development and design 
documentation a big pitfall for many of the free/opensource projects.
