rob, presotto, ken and phil did not agree with tanenbaum's
ideas about modular kernels.
this was a direct response to ast many years ago. it was
hard to dig up when i did so in 2006. perhaps someone

False unless your only goal is to get papers published.
Plan 9's kernel is a fraction of the size of any microkernel
we know and offers more functionality and comparable
or often better performance.
