It seems odd that this book is only about the kernel, given that the BSD camp has always said that an advantage of a BSD over Linux is that a BSD is the whole package, from the GUI and command shell on down, whereas Linux is 'just' the kernel, and relies on distros to be usable.

It's prone to change between major version numbers.. for instance clang/c++ RT/etc. It would be cool to see a volume on this stuff, but it would probably need a ton of authors and be more like a series of exposes (thinking a book like Architecture of Open Source Applications)
