Yeeeek. Gentlemen, I consider that as a proof that the whole idea is bogus. Dual-universe systems were the horrible source of ugliness. If that's the cost of including something into Linux - too bad. If _that_ (dual-universe) will go into the ftp.kernel.org tree (I suspect that nothing short of serious doze of really nasty drugs forcibly administered to Linus will do that) - well, the tree free from that bogosity will be available for download within an hour from that sad event. I'll take care about that.
