Hey Joseph,

Thanks for sending this out!

Here's just a few things I'd love to see:

1. wireless mesh support. this would go _a long_ ways for supporting
   human rights efforts.
2. 100% llvm toolchain for base and ports. freebsd seems to already be
   going in this direction.
3. jail orchestration in base. it's great that we have all these
   disparate jail management ports, but we lack a fully
   coherent/integreated solution. I'd love to see jail orchestration
   get the same love as zfs in base.
4. tor browser bundle (port from openbsd?)

That's at least what I can think of off the top of my head.

Thanks again,
