Is this true ? I wonder. My understanding is that OSF, as is one of the
basics in MACH will remove as much as possible from the KERNEL. Not from
the end product. Stuff that's really not need to be there will be in 
threads outside of the kernel. AT&T has some trend where they stuff 
everything in the kernel it seems. Why, one day we might even have 'vi'
in there :-)

Feel free to comment if I'm wrong, otherwise perhaps not.
