I've experienced it times and again: only the very few _really good_
designers or programmers can resist the temptation of using _all_ tools
(bells and whistles) that a software package provides. I've seen too many
failures by people (i.c. students, so no real harm is done :-) ) that think
they do a good job because they make use of the most ``advanced'' features.
So, I think Victor has a good point in not (yet?) succumbing to the
standard pressure of adding features for the sake of adding features...
Let's make (and keep) RTLinux a powerful but simple tool :-)
