Ahhhhhh yes. Excellent point.

If I were capable, which I am not, then there are other things I would
focus my efforts on which I find much more interesting than 1970s
monolithic Unix-type OSes.

In that family of designs, I personally find Plan 9 and Inferno _far_
more interesting, for instance. I did a talk on that theme at FOSDEM
in Brussels in February:

I turned it into some articles:

But I am more intrigued by the idea of getting away completely from
the concepts of "filesystems" and "drives", which I regard as legacy
technology -- 20th century stuff. That was the theme of my previous
talk, which became the "starting over" article above.
