No, no, I was simply speaking from personal perspective. For example, a
couple of years ago I was making a specific effort to make my code as much
user-space as possible, just for portability sake, but I decided to stop
doing it. Writing drivers for Linux is involving enough and if no stupid
architecture decisions are made the port to Hurd or BSD should not be too
difficult.
