The great thing about open source is that everyone can do what she or he
likes. However, I do believe that you will not find more than 10 users
for your software.

If you already have the knowledge to do kernel programming or if you
want a project to gain deeper knowledge and hands-on practice I suggest
you contribute to the bhyve hypervisor - your work there would surely be
highly appreciated and many more users would profit from your work.
