I bet if you went and spoke to the right people in the correct
open source kernel/distribution project, -given the right clue-,
very fast forwarding and QoS could start appearing in *NIX OSes.

The problem I see is there's a lot of demand -once it is done-, but
no one org or group willing to pony up to see it happen.

The clue is out there. They're just looking for a way to pay the
rent.
