It'll be named "kitchensink", there will be only one process in the process table, and every bit of computation will be handled using kernel threads. All services will have been moved into the kernel for "speed", and exceptions will be handled by everything being virtualized - when the kernel crashes, the guest will just kill itself and respawn. I really wish I was joking or being facetious. I'm not. This is pretty much the logical end result of the abomination that's systemd, and the appallingly stupid idea of putting dbus into the kernel. There's a reason for privilege and process separation, and people seem to have forgotten it. More facetiously, Poettering will have rejoined a BSD project after effectively having killed off Linux for any production use, and laughing all the way to the bank. :) --Russell
