Diesen kleinen Aprilscherz habe ich vorhin per Zufall entdeckt (beim Stöbern auf der Dragonfly Website).
In der Kernelliste(http://news.gmane.org/gmane.os.dragonfly-bsd.kernel/) erlaubte sich jemand am 1. April einen kleinen Scherz
Ich zitiere für diejenigen die nicht selber schauen wollen.

As you might know, I've been meaning to get OpenBSD into the SMP realm, and to have better
SMP support. I've had my eye on your little project for a while, and I must say that your LWKT
ideas, and XIO seem very interesting. Henceforth, I will try to put your LWKT and XIO technology
into OpenBSD, because it seems the right thing to do.
So, if any of you would like to get funded for getting this into OpenBSD, just drop me a line,
and I'll see what I can arrange. I hope this collaboration will be fruitful.
Greetings,
Theo.

Hello Theo! Hey, that's great. I think the LWKT technology and approach
is the way to go (at least compared to FreeBSD-5's model). It's a much
saner programming model to be sure.
On XIO.. it's based on Alan Cox's target-side sf_buf work in FreeBSD-5
and obviously very new in terms of how I intend to use it for other
parts of the system. I have had great success adapting it to our CAPS
(ipc) code and the PIPE code (mainly Alan's work in regards to PIPE, but
the XIO encapsulation of it was very easy to adapt and will be comitted
today). I think it's a winner, but the proof isn't going to be in the
pudding until I am able to convert the buffer cache over to using it.
The buffer cache is the ten thousand pound gorilla, so to speak.
There are still some issues with XIO, in particular how to handle
writable pages and copy-on-write issues, but it seems well on its way.

Sniff. I really have to start drinking Coffee in the
mornings.
It's April Fools, of course.

Ich habe herzlich gelacht.... dem Theo wäre dieses ja zuzutrauen !
