None whatsoever. You're welcome to use it for as long as you deem
necessary, but you are on your own. There are a number of more interesting
approaches [than legacy], but ultimately you need a dynamic memory manager.
The most obvious person to talk to is Owain Ainsworth as he seems to be
single-handedly writing GEM for OpenBSD.
