I think the point is that if a system needs dynamic resource allocation, _something_ needs to do it. Traditional systems do this in the kernel. seL4 declares this to be the responsibility of userspace, but I’m not aware of a userspace component that can actually do that job. Also, running seL4 in a virtualized environment makes a huge amount of sense for testing and debugging, or if one is shipping a virtual appliance. -- Sincerely, Demi Marie Obenour (she/her/hers) _______________________________________________ Devel mailing list -- devel@sel4.systems To unsubscribe send an email to devel-leave@sel4.systems
