    i'm still arguing the same: that doing the same thing via overlapping,
    conflicting, redundant ABIs is crazy and contrary to the basic interests
    of Linux. It's like having 5 different, parallel variants of sys_open(),
    interfaced via a convoluted open_ops.

    having data ABI coupling is one thing (filesystems, network formats,
    etc.). But having a 5-way function ABI coupling between system software
    running on the /same piece of hardware/, doing the same thing in essence
    is just madness in my book.
