dear stefan,
fortunately for you and me both, it's already been done, and is
a major (functional) research project of the universities of karlsruhe
and southern australia:
http://l4linux.org
as i have insufficient time or resources to dedicate to such a project
, i would be both unable to spend sufficient time replicating their work,
but not only that i would definitely not have enough time, resources or
energy to convince the key people that such work undertaken by was a
viable project.
my expertise appears to be, however, in ferretting out such archaic
and esoteric technology, and in advocating it. okay. the finding
i am good at. the advocating i still need lessons in, because i
tend to ROYALLY piss people off.
*beam* :)

You seem to be SOL. It's sad that you cannot make time or learn enough
to scratch your itch. It is sad that you seem not to have even started
to try. I weep. When someone calls me on the phone and asks me to hire
them because their bills and debts are so large that they must get a
job, but can present me with no valid reasons to hire them, I'll think
of you from now on. Oh, wait, did that sound bitter?

It's also sad that you have no apparent teambuilding or advocacy skills.
If the technology is archaic and esoteric, then why should anyone
care? If you cannot help but piss people off, you need to change tactics.

And, cheerfully pissing people off does in no way redeem you.

One should wonder why such technology became archaic and esoteric,
even when the industry is full of known suboptimal solutions that have
never the less survived...
