Definitively should NOT be.

A new kernel.sys can be - and should be - tested independently of all the 
surrounding stuff,
so you have potential issues automatically isolated to the kernel, and nothing 
else.

just exchanging the existing kernel.sys with the new one does ALL the changes 
related to a new kernel.
in case of bugs, changing it back to the old kernel.sys should also make the 
nwe bugs vanish.

Mixing this into a pot with all the updated EDLINs, RUNTIMEs etc. only 
complicates bug isolation, which usually
is 80% of bug location.


Repeat: new components should NEVER be tested in conjunction with multiple 
other changes. NEVER.

And that's easy for DOS.

Tom
