Indeed, as an heretic, one of the first things I did with Jehanne was to move the console filesystem out of kernel. Then I moved several syscalls into userspace. Or turned them to files or to operation on existing files. More syscall/kernel services will move to user space as I'll have time to hack it again. You know... heretics ruin everything! I'm not going to turn Jehanne to a microkernel, but I'm looking for the simplest possible set of kernel abstractions that can support a distributed operating system able to replace the mainstream Web+OS mess. You know... heretics are crazy, too! Giacomo
