+
+[[microkernel/Mach]] interfaces do not allow for proper resource accounting,
+when a server allocates resources on behalf of a client.
+
+Mach can't do a good job at resource management, as it doesn't have enough
+information how resources are used: which data is important and which is
+discardable, for example.
+
+These issues are what Neal Walfield is working on with his new kernel
+[[microkernel/viengoos]].
