I do see what you mean but asking people to re-write all the things isn't a successful strategy to achieve mass adoption. Being able to build your unikernel (micro)services using legacy things and then swapping out certain services for clean-slate versions seems like a much more palatable approach. This is why unikernels fit so well with the microservices approach — you only have to re-write things one piece at a time if you choose to.

That's kind of my point, in that worldview rump kernels are not really the future they're a transitional phase bridging the present and the future.
