"And those who do understand it are doomed to implement it right,
that's why there is Plan 9." - Me.

:) (For those who don't know, Plan 9 was made by the some of people
who created Unix.)

Linux is not Unix, it is a clone. We don't need to be eternally tied
to historical ideas from the 70's and early 80's. Unix is not a
perfect system, there's no such thing, by the way. We should be
struggling to evolve it so that we have less work maintaining it,
without losing the strong technical foundation that we all love. Our
time is way precious to spend in configuration files that could be
easily discovered by the system. I agree, though, that should be some
way to manual tweaking, if needed so.
