Appetizer from Harald Weltes blog where i got the link:
-----------
The presentation shows how Google has simply thrown 5-10 years of
Linux userspace evolution into the trashcan and re-implemented it
partially for no reason. Things like hard-coded device
lists/permissions in object code rather than config files, the
lack of support for hot-plugging devices (udev), the lack of kernel
headers. A libc that throws away System V IPC that every unix/Linux
software developer takes for granted. The lack of complete POSIX
threads.
