>In other words, kernel folks are helluva lazy. This isn't going to change, and neither will the quality of Linux kernel developer libraries. It's the culture, for better or worse.
And this is why the Linux kernel is deployed on three orders of magnitude more devices than *BSD kernels are? Laziness?

Of course. Everyone knows that smart programmers who are also lazy write better code; after all, low-quality code means more maintenance and debugging work down the road. It's the short-sighted ones you have to look out for. I don't think anyone would argue that the kernel developers are lacking in either intelligence or vision, ergo in their case laziness is definitely a virtue.
