Ow!  I sure dropped the ball following up on this one!  Better late than never.

I received exactly three suggestions by email:
   * Better stability for filtering and openssl-based bufferevents.
   * UDP support
   * Pluggable DNS backends

I'm also interested in the items I listed above.

I'll try to come up with a plan over the weekend; If anybody wants to
add anything else to my list, please email me **OFF LIST** and I'll
add them.

Hm. How to stop myself from dropping the ball again?  Ah, here we go:
"If I have not announced some kind of plan by Wednesday, I will upload
a video of myself performing 'I'm a little teapot'."
