In general, volunteer projects have a surfeit of ideas and a shortage
of real implementations.  The Project is never going to agree to import
an idea without some substance.

In which case you need to move this thread to freebsd-arch where these
sort of issues are discussed.  You need to clearly define your goals

able to convince at least one committer to work with you to implement
your design.
