> the ultimate morass of monoculture and an endgame with no competition. An ode to "the OS layer no longer matters, don't bother putting any effort into it someone else will". Bystander paradox. It is not a monoculture, it's a common framework. Most farms have soil, and sure, some farms can operate without soil, but there is a lot of flexibility with soil. No two soils are alike, soil developers at each supersoil centre^W^Wfarm are free to derive and innovate as much as they'd like, but soil is a good place to start. If you want a microkernel, port the Linux drivers to it and you're off to the races. If you want a monolithic kernel, there's basically nothing you're missing out on with Linux.
