There are several reasons, some of them are:
- oskit is quite fat and complex. The internal COM interface makes it
- oskit is not maintained anymore
  difficult to understand what happens if a new library is added
- oskit1.0 is GPL

It should be possible to compile the log_net server using the oskit and
compile the other parts of L4env with dietlibc or uClibc. However, it
would make much sense to port the log_net interface to the new ore
server (l4/pkg/ore). Björn, could you give an estimation about the
effort to port log_net to ore?
