Without flexibility as our #1 goal, the OS has no lasting value.  Stability
as a #2 means that we design the OS to be as flexible as possible, WHILE
making it Stable.  I agree that stability is very important, but I don't know
how we would focus on stability in the initial design.  Initially we need to
design it as flexible as possible.   Flexibility is not just a developer and
power user dream.  It is the home and corporate user that gets the benefits
of a flexible system because the developers and power users who set the
system up.  When I say flexibility, I mean, the base OS should do as little
as possible, while allowing everything else (UI, APPS) to be completely
flexible based on using
that simple background.
