Change... to what?

I think this thread is extremely important because it starkly shows just what it is that we're discussing and what's at stake. Some people who don't like Unix and don't believe it's good to be Unix are trying to incrementally make Linux into something very different.

If you advertise up front that you want to use the Linux kernel to build a a system that isn't Unix or Unix-like then perhaps proposals that move things in that direction would not be met with such debate. Instead your entire goal could be examined and we could split into the camp which wants that and the camp which doesn't and everyone could move on.

Not advertising up front what the real goal is makes all discussion after that meaningless.
