I had a long, rambling reply to this that corrected many of the factual =
errors made in it. But why bother. You have your world view, it doesn't =
match what people are doing today and this mismatch is going to cause =
people pain and suffering in the embedded world far beyond what you =
think. And you've shown an extreme reluctance to accept that your world =
view isn't quite right, and listen to people. This makes me sad, but I =
recognize a lost cause when I see it.

Do whatever the fuck you want, but it won't make your arguments right. =
And it won't keep me from saying I told you so when your optimistic =
timelines don't come to fruition, or the people processors you dismiss =
as being too weak to run a full FreeBSD (despite the fact they are doing =
it today) complain about the needless pain they are going through.
