Let them go implement fuchsia. It will check all their boxes right before it slams into a mountain from a km to mi conversion.

I thought we handled this years ago and coming from aviation experts is rather strange that they don't know the industry has migrated away from having a singular operating system that can't die to having a series of redundant fail-safes to fall back to when it does. It's strange to see the places where the microkernel debate still rages on....and how little investment is being made by those complaining multibillion $$ international corporations into projects like fuschia, RTOS, ZephyerOS, GNU Hurd, MIT Mach (or even Darwin), or even Minix!

I think these arguments are disingenuous and while they are valid the various organizations making them seem to aggressively not want to find solutions. I smell a strong desire to hold the vanguard of what they have built until they retire and can be unconcerned with compliance...understandable to a degree but harmful in the long run to be going so fast in the wrong direction.

Maybe Linux isn't a good fit, that's fine but they clearly don't care about that, they just don't want to implement anything and Linux is a convenient scape goat to not have to contribute back into an open source project even one on a BSD license
