Troll a lot do you? ;-)

While I like C++ (and quite a number of kernel people can in fact write
C++ no problem) we can have a long debate about whether the STL is in
fact 'done right' :-)

Also, I don't think init (as in PID-1) should be a large program, and
therefore writing it in C would be entirely reasonable.
