Then where is this effort?  Why is one developer wandering off on his 
own?  How about setting a 'win32k rewrite' as a goal for 0.4?  That is, 
if 0.3 ever makes it out the door...

Honestly, i think that devs should work towards the feature set we 
planned for 0.3, however that is just me.  Granted, there is no money 
involved in this project, but not setting goals and randomly doing 
rewrites is the fast way to code burnout, boredom, and lost interest.  
Drowning yourself in an impossibly large project is nuts.
