Quite right, this could limit cross-fertilization between the kernels. On the other hand, I don't think
there's anything to prevent the Linux developers from taking design ideas from Solaris (and vice
versa) and re-implementing them in their own context (which would probably have to be done
anyway since the kernels have a lot of differences).
