How much investigation have the Oracle folks (besides Zach :-) done into Evgeniy's kevent interfaces and how much feedback have they given to him. I know it sounds like I'm being a pain in the ass, but it saddens me that there is this whole large body of work implemented to solve a problem, the maintainer keeps posting patch sets and the whole discussions has gone silent. I'd be quiet if there were some well formulated objections to his work being posted, but people are posting nothing. So either it's a perfect API or people aren't giving it the attention and consideration it deserves.
