All software has bugs, & all bugs are not equal. Easy bugs can be identified & resolved relatively quickly.

One of the reasons the *BSD family is reasonably stable is due to so many people having put the software into real-world situations where hard problems have been found & ultimately resolved.

The paint hasn't even dried on the codebase questioned, & it certainly hasn't undergone the test of real-world production environments.

Not that this project doesn't have merit, but it appears to be yet another virtualization flavor of the week. Writing virtualization software is difficult & even harder to test. Complicated projects simply take time to settle into some level of stability, & most virtualization implementations available today are still in their infancy irregardless of what their marketing departments want you to believe.
