I don't see it like that, it's more a matter of *how* to add these new
features. Should we go for a monolithic monster-mega-kernel (which we will
eventually get) or loadable modules? I prefer the latter, but for many
things this will require a new, more advanced module-interface in addition
to the current device- and filesystem-interfaces.
