I was reading through the Daemon Book the other day, and I was struck
by how much things have changed since 4.3, even just looking ahead as
far as Net/2.  I'd like to know if there are any plans to update the
Daemon Book so that it helps people in understanding more recent
systems (Net/2 and 4.4).  For example, the entire virtual memory
section does little to help someone trying to work with Net/2's
Mach-based VM system.

Messrs. Leffler, McKusick, Karels, and Quarterman, have you considered
this?
