Anyways, micro-kernel DESIGN brings a lot of advantages. It reduces coupling making maintenance easier for example.

But monolithic IMPLEMENTATION brings a lot of advantages too, not least speed.

That's why Linux has always been a modular system.

Whatever floats your boat, and if pushing stuff into user space brings advantages (which it clearly does in many cases, not least security), go for it!
