You simply kept ignoring me when I said that if something can be kept out

Well, if it's not being a "wicked microkernelist" then what is it?
I know I'm bad.
Performance is hardly the only motivation to put things into the
kernel. Think kernel mode-setting and devtmpfs (with the ironic twist
of original devfs being removed from the kernel) here, for example.
Motivations include privileged device access, needing to access physical
memory, security, and keeping the userspace interface sane. There are
others. I don't think any of them hold here.
