Hi Matt,

  I hope this project manages to explore new boundaries of performance
and am pleased that you chose the FreeBSD stable development branch as
a suitable starting point for your endeavors.  I hope Dragonfly will
produce the same kinds of synergies with the FreeBSD Project that our
ongoing relationships with NetBSD, OpenBSD, and various Linux projects
have.  I'm especially interested in seeing you succeed with your
package management goals, where many other attempts have failed in
that area.

  For our part, we're planning to release FreeBSD 4.9 with PAE support
merged at the beginning of September.  We certainly haven't ruled out
further 4.X releases after that time either.  As usual, our release
related plans are available from http://www.FreeBSD.org/releng.

  Good luck,

  - Murray
