hmm, process migration (like the columbia folks do)
is on our todo list (but not on the top right now :)
and combining forces sounds always good ...

I'm sure we can agree on something ...

mostly lack of motivation ... i.e. I consider merging
with mainline not that a great idea, so I do not push
in that direction ... and obviously the kernel folks
have no interest in this kind of isolation either ...

best pay a visit to the IRC channel, when you get around
and we have a talk there ...

best,
