+    < antrik> Tekk_`: regarding microkernels: the basic idea, and really the
+      *only* fundamental difference, is that they isolate things in separate
+      address spaces. everything else goes back to this.
+    < antrik> benefits from the isolation generally fall into two groups: more
+      robustness (main focus of Minix3), and more flexibility (main focus of
+      Hurd)
+    < antrik> while it might also encourage some other good design choices,
+      these are secondary effects: such choices can also be implemented in a
+      monolithic architecture -- and not necessarily harder. just less obvious
+      in some cases...

+    < neal> braunr: For instance, memory objects are great as they allow you to
+      specify the mapping policy in user space.
+    < neal> braunr: But, the policy for determining the eviction order is
+      realized by Mach
+    < neal> braunr: And user-space has no control
+    < braunr> are you referring to the page cache lru approximation and stuff
+      like resource containers ?
+    < neal> I'm not sure what you mean by page cache lru appoximateion
+    < braunr> the kernel eviction policy :)
+    < neal> that's an implementation detail
