Yeah, in the end we probably do agree more than we think ;-) I was being on the aggressive side in that email, but not hurtfully so. Really that part is mostly bikeshed material (i.e., what's VM and what's platform, and the terminology is a minefield of misunderstanding), and I don't see much disagreement on the conclusion -- that some of the VM interfaces are a mess, and are inefficient, and that something like I've proposed may be a good solution. I'm still working on a patch to fix this for socket NIO (I posted a preliminary version to this list). Thanks.
