Are there limitations (in license or tech) that would prevent the code
from being ported to solaris apart from perhaps the kernel being too
clumsy and/or that including that code would make the kernel a derived
product?
I believe XFS uses GPL, I hope that I don't misremember that. Perhaps it
could be run in a microkernel then, is that right? Like Xmach, NeXT or
OS X? (I have no idea what injecting a server into those would take.)

I think I preferred the cows. They were better conversation, easier to
milk, and if they annoyed me enough, I could shoot them and eat them.
