This... didn't answer my question? For many that are concerned with containers and such, they also have to audit the container process code. Such that, fine, try to use that to inflate the numbers on Linux.
Pointing at literally decades of device drivers as why the size of the code is bad, while acknowledging that it will take time to write device drivers so this will work on a respectable amount of hardware just feels weird.
That all said, please don't take this as a criticism of any of these ideas. I confess seeing Hurd in the headlines gave me a smile. Is nice to see people can still work on many ideas out there. I am only questioning the "size of code bad!" right next to "it will take us a long time to replicate a large portion of the code we just pointed at."
