    Moving RaidFrame and/or Vinum to userland under DragonFly would be an
    extremely interesting and useful project, not so much because you
    would want to run them in userland, but in order to build and prove
    out a userland infrastructure for DEV that is robust (e.g. survives
    someone killing the user process!).  I should have DEV converted into
    a message-passing subsystem early next week (it's the next thing on my
    list!).

    Such a project would make an excellent undergrad paper.  In fact, it
    would make an excellent Grad project as well.  There are simply a ton
    of things that could be investigated.
