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. \ No newline at end of file -- cgit v1.2.3
