Michael,
What does this mean?
David
Without specific implementations in the core so that competing ideas could be plugged in and could stand on their merits rather than on some sort of Lord of the Flies advocacy. Essentially, it means protecting us from ourselves and not allowing us to code ourselves into corners like painters paint themselves into corners. No matter how good the idea, in the long run it probably will be eclipsed. Newton was a great, unimaginably great, thinker, and pretty much everything, if not everything, he said was false. Blah, blah. Kernel architecture with component development is the way to go, in my opinion.
The idea is to make the kernel as small as possible. You can even have sample build-outs from the kernel as a starter idea. The smaller the kernel, the better.
