plan 9 has everything static. the kernel compiles in about 20 seconds
or less -- no compression -- and you can boot it off a floppy.
if i can sit in /sys/src and type:
mk install
and have everything re-built (and i could do it for all the supported
architectures) in minutes i have eliminated unnecessary complexity.
if it's not there, it can't break.
btw: say hi to maltby for me.
