Nice to see rump make the front page again. The author's command of the English language easily trumps any deficiencies in multiplication. His little quips crack me up. "All that and a can of paint." "Rump" is just a cool name in my opinion. I liked rump(3) before I even knew what it did. Naming and coming up with clever acronyms that are not annoying is difficult. Props to the author for that alone. Whereas something like "Docker" makes me cringe. No matter how good it is. Some of these names people come up with are just terrible. Anyway, we know that rump can be used for mounting filesystems (e.g., ones containg applications) that reside on USB sticks or other removable media. By using rump_ffs, there is no kernel panic on errors associated with the mounted filesystem. For that one use alone, nevermind its otherwise enormous potential, I'd say rump is worth the rumpification of the NetBSD source tree. It is not easy to crash the netbsd kernel, but filesystem errors are one way to do it, in my experience. I think the author should have at least one article about rump that uses a certain song title from Exile on Main Street.
