I thought this was talking about the gnu herd! gnu.org/software/hurd/ it is a microkernel? that was being produced for gnu software. Seems linux (monolithic? Kernel ) became mainsteam before they got it to work. But seems to be working now! But to the subject at hand: i like fragmentation. It means there is a free market and you have choice. I do not want only one brand of cola (coca cola) nor two (pepsi-cola) nor three (ubuntu-cola) but four (whole earth organic cola) and five (fentimans curiosity cola). (i am sure there are more) I consider it my job to recomend products i like (fentimans curiosity cola is great by the way!). I would not like to say that we will no longer have many different flavours but they all got toguether and did one single flavour. And also i do not think they will.
