<braunr> kilobug: right, a monolithick kernel is less folt-tolerant than a
well designed/implemented microkernel based os

+It turns out that it is perfectly possible to isolate services running in the
+same address space, as it was done in projects such as Singularity, the idea
+being that the code is verified through static analysis when installed (but
+this requires a language other than C).

ext2fs translator doing a segfault and being restarted is a
fault-tolerance that would be almost impossible to have in Linux
