+      <p>Reviews have begun on the CAM I/O scheduler that I wrote
+	for Netflix.  It is anticipated that this process will be done in
+	time for the &os; 11 branch.</p>
+
+      <p>Details about this work can be found in the linked BSDcan
+	paper from last year.</p>
+
+      <p>Briefly, the scheduler allows one to differentiate I/O
+	types and limit I/O based on the type and characteristics of the
+	I/Os (including the latency of recent requests relative to
+	historical averages).  This is most useful when tuning system
+	loads to SSD performance.  Both a simple default scheduler, the
+	same that we use today in &os;, as well as a scheduler that can be
+	well-tuned for system loads related to video streaming will be
+	included.</p>
