Have you run a ps -ax on a Linux box lately? You call that monolithic?
The linux kernel has been migrating to a micro kernel slowly for the last 
decade now. In some ways its benefited from its older cousin GNU Hurd because 
the Linux Kernel developers had the benefit of knowing what went wrong and what 
worked well in Hurd. By the way from my understanding one of the things they 
really got wrong was using Mach as a base because it was the root cause of a 
majority of the issues they've had, and last I herd they were stripping Mach 
out of the Hurd kernel.

That monolithic kernel design is demonstrably primitive in every respect
to micro-kernel design and that there is a universal evolutionary path
predicted by some law we have yet to discover.

That kernel design trumps driver availability in every respect.

That any of this matters since nobody is fronting the development time
to implement $astronaut_arch_X.

That this is the place to discuss this.
