Didn't see the article address power management in the context of things that might be running idle in the background. That would seem to be to be a major incentive for an OS that's going be used on mobile, which needs to respond to changes in environment on the move (changing WLAN, network, beacons etc.) Blackberry's QNX ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/QNX https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/QNX ) is a microkernel architecture and was designed with this in mind - https://www.qnx.com/developers/docs/6.3.0SP3/neutrino/sys_arch/power.html https://www.qnx.com/developers/docs/6.3.0SP3/neutrino/sys_ar... ... > Traditional power management (PM) is aimed at conserving the power of computers that are usually left on. The general-purpose approach to PM for desktop PCs -- or even for "mobile" PCs, such as laptops -- doesn't take into account the specific demands of embedded systems, which can be off (or on standby) much of the time, yet must respond to external events in predictable ways. I don't know if it's inherently more efficient to implement this type of thing with a microkernel but given the iBeacons and similar effectively "failed" ( https://venturebeat.com/2018/10/27/why-android-nearby-ibeacons-and-eddystone-failed-to-gain-traction/ https://venturebeat.com/2018/10/27/why-android-nearby-ibeaco...) due to power and sensitivity, this could be a big enough incentive to start a new OS
