+      <p>Due to the quickly approaching time of 10.0-RELEASE, the
+	priorities for the native iSCSI stack shifted somewhat, from
+	performance optimizations to making sure the new stack is
+	reliable, feature-complete and is able to interoperate correctly
+	with various implementations.  Plenty of time was invested into
+	testing and debugging, mostly on the initiator side, to make
+	sure it works correctly with other targets, such as Solaris
+	COMSTAR, and behaves properly in edge conditions, e.g.  in case
+	of connection problems.  Nevertheless, some fundamental
+	optimizations, such as Immediate Data support, were implemented.
+	Also, the documentation has improved, and there is going to be a
+	new section added to the &os; Handbook that describes the use of
+	the new stack.</p>
+
+      <p>The new stack was committed to <tt>head</tt> and will ship as
+	part of 10.0-RELEASE.  There is ongoing work on fixing issues
+	reported by early adopters.</p>
+
+      <p>This project is being sponsored by The &os; Foundation.</p>
