*Real* UNIX addressed these problems long ago. I guess the "Gurus" suffer from NIH (Not Invented Here) syndrome.

The "Gurus" need to learn something my father taught me. "A smart man learns from his mistakes. A wise man learns from the mistakes of others". I'm really smart. :-( And, apparently, so are the "Gurus". To think they have VM this long and no one has thought to swipe these good ideas from real UNIX. And they're still argueing about all that as if it has never been hashed out and addressed before.
Well Bill, I'm sure they will be happy to receive a patch from you, with a new VM implementation that actually works (including for SMP machines, and multiple platforms).
No ? Well, talk is cheap, isn't it ?
Yep. And so is baiting snide commentary. I did my stint and now only write code that I want to. And tolerate idiocy only as I desire. And comment as I see fit. And laugh at irony. And ... well, it doesn't matter does it.
Having worked on *IX systems since 1978, I've gained an appreciation for some of the alternatives. And the methods used to accomplish things.
