I was referring to the fact that the system can be extended at run-time, with little or no expertise in kernel development. For instance, one can implement a file system, restart it when it crashes (instead of rebooting), debug it with gdb, and be blissfully ignorant of the OS innards. That’s what I meant by “practical freedom.” Cheers, Ludo’.
