Feel free to write something up (plain text is enough), which explains  
your wishes regarding kdump/ktrace and is usable for inclusion into  
the existing entry at http://www.FreeBSD.org/projects/ideas/.

Other proposals for the ideas list are accepted too, so feel free to  
dump (similar to existing entries) your TODO or "nice to have" list  
into our (joel and I) direction.

Bye,
Alexander.
