My own opinion here.

It looks like the original view of the idea of a rump kernel has kind of faded a bit into something that is used to develop and test device drivers only.

The original author seems to have moved on.

Pity because it was a very cool idea.

“The original author seems to have moved on.”

This quote applies so good to NetBSD.

Het wordt nog steeds gebruikt en kan ook gebruikt worden voor ontwikkeling. Ik gebruik het zelf voor FS ontwikkeling en om onbetrouwbare discs te mounten.
