That's kind of the point I'm trying to make here, an operating system and kernel is supposed to provide you with something stable to build on. It's its raison d'être. Should the stability of a bridge be considered remarkable? No, it's an entire engineering discipline to making stable bridges, because an unstable bridge is useless. The same goes for an operating system and kernel.
