100% my opinion. This should lower the barrier to actually use a
LispOS machine in a unix surrounding. If you are totally incompatible
with the rest of the world you isolate yourself and only people like
us, who are religious about Lisp would use the LispOS. I want the
LispOS be used by more than a hundred people.
