I'm only going to respond to the opinion section of the post, not the 
technical patch.

"The successor of the very stable and reliable line of the FreeBSD 4.x 
series is the development line of DragonFlyBSD." -http://gobsd.com/bsd

My question to that author would be "Why base something off of something 
unstable?"

For the record, we run over 35,000 FreeBSD machines all over the world 
(real number is higher, I'm just giving you the last total I have) as 
production, 24/7 machines on our own network. We are fine with DragonFly 
too, but its more like choosing from types of the same fruit, not 
necessarily apples and oranges.. think Golden Delicious vs Red Delicious.

I don't have anything to technically discuss the memory concerns in that 
patch only that everything is solvable. Yahoo and hundreds of other 
companies rely on FreeBSD for production equipment.
