Hi,

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.
