Comment on An io_uring-based user-space block driver

Somehow this reminded me of this post on LKLM:

- <odd>.x.x: Linus went crazy, broke absolutely _everything_, and rewrote the kernel to be a microkernel using a special message-passing version of Visual Basic. (timeframe: "we expect that he will be released from the mental institution in a decade or two").

It's really interesting to see Linux getting more and more micro-kernel like features throughout the years.

Notably, the post is from a “decade or two” ago, so timeline matches.
