Our arbitrary 2 (or 3 or 3.25) gig limitations on applications have bugged some people. More of a pain has been our crappy paging performance. I wouldn't mind seeing a 64bit implementation. I'ld be happier seeing better 64 bit support in the current compiler. vlong kind of sucks at the moment. Sape and I need it so we'll probably work on it. I really don't need a 64 bit kernel or big address space at the moment so I'm less sanguine about that. However, if forsyth gets sufficiently excited to work on the compiler, I'll probably buy a machine and work on the OS. It isn't exactly at the top of my priority list though.
