Whenever I find something wrong with someone else's implementation, I
usually write my own.  It's much harder to do it correctly than to complain
about what someone else did wrong, but it's much more productive and way
more fulfilling.  So rather than complain, so far I've written one operating
system, three languages, several ERP applications, two conversion tools and
I'm working on my third.

So when would I expect to see OS/LEIF out?
