Well, thanks. It perhaps is a little bit similar to what Paul-Henning
Kamp had to do when he introduced GEOM into FreeBSD in October 2002. He
also had to cleanup first many really ugly things which people for years
avoided to touch. In his "The official 'GEOM is in the tree' speech" he
said: "Road-construction is never a nice thing, at least not until it
is done and over with, but it is a necessary part of the lifecycle."
Hmmmm... ;-)
