Not a stupid question at all.

Pretty much everything :-) I'm only partly joking; Rump Kernels re-use
unmodified NetBSD code which has been around for many years and is
production quality.

I've successfully used Rump Kernels in a bespoke software project for a
client. They wanted to do custom mastering of UDF filesystems on USB flash
disks. The requirements were for a bullet-proof GUI application, with a
view to future portability to Windows systems and running as unprivileged
as possible.

Rump Kernels enabled me to re-use the production quality NetBSD UDF
filesystem driver as is, and integration with the Qt GUI application was
straightforward. The Rump Kernel was simply linked in as a library.

Hope this helps,

Martin
