IF that day comes (I'm skeptical -- architectural diversity seems to be increasing), I expect kernel devs will be more receptive to it.

Until then, it seems like you're trying to merge the solution before the problem even exists.

I'm not necessarily arguing for FatELF, but isn't anticipating the market and having a solution before something becomes a problem the very definition of innovation?

Personally, I like the idea of having solutions rather than problems.
