+      <p>Research and prototyping has begun on a new project to
+	implement <tt>autofs(4)</tt> — an automounter filesystem
+	— and its userland counterpart, <tt>automountd(8)</tt>.
+	The idea is to provide very similar user experience to the
+	automounters available on Linux, MacOS X, and Solaris, including
+	using the same map format.  The automounter will also integrate
+	with directory services, such as LDAP.</p>
