The disappearing sys_call_table export.

So I think Linux needs these 'fringe' features if it's going to
continue to expand its user base in the face of such stupidity.

I, for one, completely disagree in the strongest way possible. This whole
argument style rings entirely hollow with me. I'd much rather say, "We don't do that because it's stupid. We will gladly explain to you why we think it's stupid, what you really want, and how to get that from us."

Deliberately designing in misfeatures so that dumb people will get what
they think they want is architectural suicide. I hope Linux never moves in that direction.
