veriexec(4), and the fileassoc(9) API it uses internally, needs maintenance and probably some serious rework to fix synchronization problems on any MP and/or preemptible kernels (i.e., all x86 of the past couple decades) with implications for any security properties it is supposed to provide. If anyone cares about veriexec(4) and would like to volunteer to take this on, we can discuss what needs to be done and how to proceed. (If not, we should maybe just delete it.)
