- wmf 13y agoLinux developers are very opposed to having their lovingly crafted network stack replaced with something crappy and/or proprietary (see TOE).
- lmm 13y agoSuch a thing would be very difficult to maintain given that linux refuses to provide a stable API.
- yid 13y agoAgreed, but it's possible (in theory, much like writing your own network stack).
