Thanks Ingo, I agree to this and also agree that we should try to be able to run (mostly) everything from the same code base and I think that's Linux does a great job on this.
Having a seperated code base for 0.0001% of mission critical servers will lead to very bad availability or very high development cost at least. In the worst (and not so unprobable) case it will lead to a lot of games with licenses and 'intellectual property'. This would mean that Linux fails to deliver on its promises IMHO.
