I though that Linus' oppinion of what goes in the kernel goes more allong
the lines of what can be done more easly where. Most everything could be
done in userspace, and Linux would be a microkernel, it's not, and it
does lots in kernelspace. For example Linus thinks that unionfs can be
done more easly in userspace (The person that was devloping it in the
kernel was having a hell of a time, it was called ifs btw).

Never wanted to undelete a file ever, never deleted a file, then realised
that you didn't want to do that ? Then you won't, but there are a lot of
people that have done things like that, me included.
