Hmmm, suppose I need to read up on capsicum...

Google is matching the funding from The FreeBSD Foundation on capsicum, with Google working on the Linux version.  Sounds like they want it for Chrome OS, so ...

Well, there's a wiki entry on ChromiumCapsicum -- https://wiki.freebsd.org/ChromiumCapsicum

Suppose the question is who wants to do it, and will it be part of the current port or as a slave port?
