Wow!. What a > contundent message!. It appears as a tabu topic.
I'm not a kernel developer so i don't "panic". But this discussions comes up about every half a year and i know the outcome from the past. -> forget it.
And btw. None of your points are "new(tm)" (including the part i striped in this mail) and all have be discussed (to death) in the past. The outcome was always: not practical and/or too much hassle for the developers and/or unmaintainable
