This was quite interesting. I feel like this can be great for single purpose computers when there's no "other applications". And if you think that you need things like apt, ls etcetc, those can simply be available by rebooting into a traditional kernel. I kind of want to build something like this with Gentoo. Have multiple installs for single purpose, like some game. And the init will simply launch the game, no bash, no login, no desktop env, not even a window manager. Updating the game and other things (like opening up a browser) would have to be done by rebooting. Might seem like overkill, but if you know you don't need the other stuff, and you need the performance ... ain't that neat ? Also, I'm thinking it might be a good way to setup the computer so the kids can play game A and B, but have it locked to do other stuff.
However the dynamic downloading confused the hell out of me. What does that have to do with exokernels ? Can't that dynamic downloading happen very happily on traditional OS/kernels too ?
