True I guess. But do you want to live in a software environment where as
a matter of course every distribution out there puts its "value-add" in
custom system calls and creating a $DISTRIBUTION-only userspace? After
all, if nothing uses their shiny new custom syscall, they might as well
not add it. This would fragment Linux quite horribly and IMO cases where
this happens should be _dis_ couraged, not encouraged by making it less
problematic to survive the resulting mess.
