Re: Technical paper for the VM subsystem in DragonflyBSD

Thanks for the answer. The paper on the FBSD VM rewrite was very informative and 
explained a complex issue of VM design clearly and coherently. It was enjoyable 
to read and I'll certainly be waiting for your future papers on Dragonfly.

BTW, I apologize for misspelling your name. Hope you're not holding this against 
me :)
