This reminded me of a story I heard about RMS's kernel, GNU Hurd. Linux being built as a monolith in the 90's, Hurd was being built as a microkernel (microservices) architecture. Guess which one was easier to debug[1]?

Considering some other stories regarding how Hurd project was managed early on, the lack of appropriately capable debugger might be due to non-technical issues...
