I think this is a good goal. I think this discussion is revolving around=20
the fact that some of the things we do now don't really fit well in an=20
LKM-based world. And/or they aren't necessarily what we want to do in an=20
LKM-based world. :-)

I'll follow up to other messages, but I think some of the issues you're=20
