Has there been any thoughts on porting Openbsd to Xen? 
(http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/Research/SRG/netos/xen/)

Both Freebsd (unstable)
http://www.bsdclusters.com/xenofreebsd/
and Netbsd (stable)
http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/Research/SRG/netos/xen/faq.html#a1.3
have been ported.


The principle of Xen, having an insecure (linux) layer running as a host
OS might go against the philosophy of Openbsd. It would be nice though to
be able to use pf/altq and other Openbsd goodies in Linux land.
