   This is ironic, because this is precisely the reason why the Hurd
   is not a LispOS.

I never claimed that it should be a LispOS, even though I'd like that
it would be a bit more LispOSish.  Recall that LispOS was a
_single_user_ system, it wasn't a multiuser system (even though it
could be used as such, to some extent).

This is why I'm for the `each user has one global name-space' variant
(i.e. what exists today), but in addition to not being tied down by
the system administrator as to what can run on the system (like
drivers, file-systems, etc).
