libxofication of FreeBSD kernel ? 201506DevSummit

[dan_partelly]

Hi all,


At the following URL:

https://wiki.freebsd.org/201506DevSummit/libxo

the listed agenda of libxo working group include the following topic of
discussion:

---- Discussion: libxo in the kernel.  -----------------

Can someone please explain exactly what happens here ? Who pushed this
agenda , 
regarding libxo in kernel,  and what was discussed ? 


For me it is worrisome that such a topic of discussion even exists. It is
my opinion 
that engineers should strive to simplify a kernel, even reduce their size
in  
LOC where possible, not adding complexity, especially totally unjustified
complexity. 


But I would like to hear the whole story before passing judgment on the
issue.
