Personally, I think init should be static, and can't think of any way it would benefit from shared libraries.
plan 9 has everything static. the kernel compiles in about 20 seconds or less -- no compression -- and you can boot it off a floppy.
if i can sit in /sys/src and type:
mk install
and have everything re-built (and i could do it for all the supported architectures) in minutes i have eliminated unnecessary complexity.
if it's not there, it can't break.
btw: say hi to maltby for me.
plan9 doesn't count. It's so minimalistic, it's useless. It has many beautiful and brilliant ideas. But it's not useful to many people as a production system. It's a shame, really.
