    This discussion is 10 years too late. There would be a huge amount of
    repo-churn that would happen. Also, the inevitible bikeshed happens
    about totally reorganizing the kernel, which inevitably ends
    inconclusively.

    I'd personally love to see it, but it would be extremely disruptive.
