Hi Matt,

first congratulation for your 1.8 release, a solid and tremendous
progress. some questions (hopefully not too far from the scope :) ...

:Besides the finalization of vkernel, what else can we expect into 2.0? There are many long-awaited (not only by me) features and additions:
:- ZFS
    I am seriously considering our options with regards to ZFS or a
    ZFS-like filesystem.  We clearly need something to replace UFS,
    but I am a bit worried that porting ZFS would be as much work
    as simply designing a new filesystem from scratch.
    One big advantage of a from-scratch design is that I would be
    able to address the requirements of a clustered operating system
    in addition the requirements of multi-terrabyte storage media.
is parallel file system in this scope, or it is the requirement you
have for cluster OS? what would be the advantage of designing a new
one compared to the current and existing one, considering the
advantage of the dfly kernel for SSI os to other kernel? put in
another way, is a new fs that will take advantage of the kernel
advantage superior to others,  from what we can predict now.
even too much questions, hope they are all relevant.

:- updated installer: fixed web based installation etc.
:- updated PF
:- getting the network stack (and others) out of the BGL
:- AMD64 port.
    I am hoping other developers take up the ball on these items.

:Note that this is not meant to be demanding at all, I am just interested, because there is no clear roadmap. I just would like to see the developers' plans.
