+ <p>One of the long-missing features of &os; was the ability to
+ boot up with a temporary rootfs, configure the kernel to be able
+ to access the real rootfs, and then replace the temporary root
+ with the real one. In Linux, this functionality is known as
+ pivot_root. The reroot projects provides similar functionality in
+ a different, slightly more user-friendly way: rerooting. Simply
+ put, from the user point of view it looks like the system performs
+ a partial shutdown, killing all processes and unmounting the
+ rootfs, and then partial bringup, mounting the new rootfs, running
+ init, and running the startup scripts as usual.</p>
+
+ <p>The project is finished. All the relevant code has been committed
+ to &os; 11-CURRENT, and is expected to ship with &os; 11.0.</p>
