Good to know that I'm wrong. I didn't know they pursued world |
| 18 |
domination too. I wonder how "kernel patches" go well together with |
| 19 |
"being in an environment unknown to you, or that you cannot control at |
| 20 |
all", though. Seems there is interest for it to support Prefix then. |

Looking forward to patches and solutions to complement the challenges of |

this year's GSoC task. |
