So by your definition, Linux, is in fact, not a monolithic kernel. And neither is Busybox monolithic, then.

There seems to be a distressingly high amount of people lately who can't seem to tell that monolithic and modular software aren't mutually exclusive, and that you can be both. Lennart seems to propagate this idea lot that being modular automatically makes you non-monolithic.
