I'd like to see FADs around cross-functional team building. For example,
I would really like to see a "Plumbing" gathering at LPC or a FUDCon, or
similar, in which those of us who touch the bowels of the system can
talk strategy for the next 1/2 releases. It's ok to do stuff like
systemd if it's deemed useful, but let's talk about it first and get
input from the different folks involved in integration of this stuff.

btw, does anyone see value in setting up a few sub-group mailing lists,
linux plumbers@ for those of us doing udev/modules/init/etc.?
