I think we need to refocus on what would give the most benefit. At least as far as I can see:

- port/package management: most users would benefit

Definitely -- and there's active work going on here that is very exciting indeed.

- improved virtualisation support: a lot of users would benefit

This is an area of very active work as well, although I'd like to see more going on. In particular, I'd like to see (a) significantly more mature Xen HVM PV driver support -- and the ability to load them on a GENERIC kernel so we don't break freebsd-update kernel updates by requiring custom kernels, and (b) bHyve to be fleshed out, including support for suspend/resume and migration. Cambridge may be able to help with non-i386/amd64 virtualisation; I have a local TODO item relating to MIPS virtualisation, for example.

On this subject, we've had a lot of luck doing a potentially-paravirtualized GENERIC on powerpc, where you can boot the same GENERIC kernel on real hardware, on IBM's POWER hypervisor (in a project branch) and under Sony's Cell hypervisor on the PS3. Perhaps some of the infrastructure for that can be reused on x86. -Nathan
