I think you mean you can't wait for this plan to come to fruition, or something along those lines. Used in this context, "unravel" means to come apart; to begin to fail.

This test is a joke. Hardly empirical and faulty in its conclusions.My 82-year-old mother installed Mepis on her own, and is happily running Linux with fewer problems than when she had an Imac.
