I guess when you're a kernel developer you think any userspace problem can be solved by importing it into the kernel. It makes me weep.

So far Ingo has proposed moving performance counter utilities and qemu into the kernel and now libc. I can't wait until the web-browser gets merged too, I hear everyone else is doing it.

No one is proposing importing the C library into the kernel, but rather the kernel source tree. Big difference.
