Mostly that it is really really hard to do right and you'd probably never get the kind of discipline and testing require from the wild west open source community :-). There are systems where it is required that live kernels be patchable with no downtime (things like space stations and nuclear reactor controllers), but it is fantastically complex to make work. There are even things like kexec now that still look like a reboot but don't go all the way down and back up. All you have to do is figure out how to merge the kexec technology with the virtualization live migration technology and migrate to a newly kexeced kernel on the same machine :-). -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@redhat.com To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
