If it's doable and the code quality is acceptable, I see 2 outcomes: 1. I could start looking for sponsorship, as I feel like my level of expertise is too limited to chew it myself 2. perhaps with a right guidance I could try to bite it myself (not so sure about it, but keen on finding out). I'm trying to contact the author atm to discuss his position and his plans regarding the code so see if there is any alignment. Week ago, he added a disclaimer in the readme that he plans shift his focus when FreeBSD write support is stabilized. If there is a limited window of opportunity, I thought it's worth looking at it while there is active interest. TBH, I don't know what would it take. The patch looks minimal, but I suspect it's just tip of the iceberg and I lack the knowledge to estimate how big the underwater part is. Especially the cost of maintenance. Therefore, I decided to reach out to tech, kindly asking about devs opinion or technical expertise on that matter. If such effort is not aligned with OpenBSD plans, I'll stop here. Cheers, Chris
