Ideas are great, but in isolation they are not so great. Reminds me of Elizabeth Holmes saying she invented a time machine when she was 9. What she did was draw a picture of a "time machine." Not quite the same thing. Refactoring linuxcnc is a big job and the resulting product would take many years to work as well as linuxcnc. If it were a simple matter, someone would have done it. That's partially where machinekit came from, but it seems to have fizzled a little. At its core, linuxcnc is a machine controller. It is very flexible, but what it does best is control one machine. It's a very useful piece of software. As long as there are computers with i/o that works and the mechanisms that make linuxcnc possible exist in the operating system, it's modern enough. It's not like a big change like this would attract a number of developers committed to a multi-year uncompensated work with minimal payoff.
