+    <braunr> we should also discuss the mach_debug interface some day

+    <braunr> [...] we have to make the mach_debug interface available
+    <braunr> well, i never took the time to integrate slabinfo into the hurd
+      repository
+    <braunr> because it relies on the mach_debug interface
+    <teythoon> ah
+    <braunr> while enabling that interface alone can't do harm, some debugging
+      functions shouldn't be usable by unprivileged applications
+    <braunr> so it requires some discussions
+    <braunr> i always delayed it because of more important stuff to do
+    <braunr> but slabinfo is actually very useful
+    <braunr> the more information we have about the system state, the better
+    <braunr> so it's actually important
