Back in the days when IBM released their JFS for Linux, there was a written
petition asking IBM to relax the license so that it would be ported to the
BSDs. IBM didn't accept but it was really nice to see all the BSDs together on
this.
Porting it to one BSD will help the others, but maybe (and this is mere
speculation) it would be easier for FreeBSD once Dtrace is finished/imported
and we get some extra OpenSolaris compatibility in the headers. FWIW, I'd also
like to see libumem ported.

That said, these projects usually pick up only when someone takes the flag and
starts on it's own, making it easier for an interested expert to continue and
polish the initial effort.
