+An extensible system is one that enables extensibility.  Enabling extensibility
+means providing non-privileged mechanisms to extend existing objects and to
+introduce new objects.  UNIX is generally not an extensible system as it does
+not generally facilitate the hooking of system calls.  For instance, there is
+no way to hook into the virtual file system.  This has motivated the introduction
+of separate, parallel interfaces by both the GNOME and KDE projects to provide
+users a more integrated view of their objects.
