That is what I expected to hear, isn't it easier to prevent resource
contention if there is one set of resources then if you have two
overlapping sets? I realize that in the short term this may be harder to
do becouse you need to change more drivers, but it seems obviously more
"correct" a solution.
what am I mising?

"If users are made to understand that the system administrator's job is to
make computers run, and not to make them happy, they can, in fact, be made
happy most of the time. If users are allowed to believe that the system
administrator's job is to make them happy, they can, in fact, never be made
happy."
