As politeness fails: Waste your own time as you want.  Don't waste
FreeBSD people's time, asking advice how to waste your time, with
no benefit to FreeBSD. We're better ignoring that & using send-pr
to send patches to FreeBSD on anything else we choose :-)

If you want to be a useless lone wolf Not contributing to FreeBSD,
do just that, go away & don't freeload for help.

I hope instead you'll want to work as a team member & contribute
where you think best, but If you want to screw around with an OS
on your own - Do It On Your Own.

As to who I am, it shouldn't matter as an idea should stand or fall
on its merits, but in case it's a genuine question:
I'm someone who learnt in 1983 that H/W for OS's evolves faster
than small teams can keep up.  Who saw a waster in 80s/90's
who wanted to rewrite everything, & contributed nothing.  Who saw
OSs evolve faster than individuals, & knows team work is required,
each dividing into specialisms to support the aggregate OS.

Cheers,
Julian
