Great wisdom, now... how to implement? (Hopefully, 0.99 and + won't break
things so specifically Linux much any more) Since Linux is rocketing
faster than anything else towards the center of the universe (POSIX) :),
_most_ of the questions _should_ be dealt with more meaningfully (read
with wider application) in those groups that you mentioned. Maybe Real
Soon Now (TM J. Pournelle) Linux will shed its teething distress, and
have a higher percentage of problems be normal, industry standard,
problems.
I think that you've hit the nail on the head, and the time is soon.
