Blame Linus for that. I would put it in, but he thinks it belongs in
userspace. I may still put it in someday and just not tell him.;-)
I'll just let the users know about it and not him.;-)
He has some good points, though. If you're going to have a kernel,
you want to keep it small, put stuff in only if it needs to be there.
And how much speed do we lose by putting stuff in userspace, if we do
it right? C'mon, if Doom 3 can run in userspace, surely some sort of
trash can / recycle bin can, right?
Oh wait... Gnome/KDE already do that.
the problem being that everyone uses rm not the gnome/kde trashcan....
literal copying of Apple doesn't work for unix because we use shells
most of the time.
