We do, however, have a great opportunity for endless debate here.
I've still not seen any agreement on the basic system structure. What
is an object? How do they relate with respect to high-level
languages, protection, scheduling, invocation? Are devices, memory
management, paging, networking, etc., part of the kernel or just
special objects? How do we fit our design decisions to various
architectures? How much should we use existing utilities and
technology?
Opinions, anyone?
