Richard, I'm bloody sick and tired of the ugliness that went into UNIX
from each and every Missed'em'V in existance. Of unneeded interfaces. Of
unneeded namespaces (e.g. the whole SysV IPC - _why_ not a filesystem?)
Of crap like AIX with its love to binary config files. Of braindead
syscalls (sysfs(2) - look and enjoy) that are there because it's easier to
add a syscall than to talk a dozen of primadonnas into <gasp> reading from
unformatted text file. It's time to stop this idiocy. Please, before we
continue that into a flamewar, search on DN for "UNIX philosophy", OK?
