And you aren't. I have an (albeit long) TODO list of what I need on Haiku
before I install it on my main dev machine (it already boots there) and
most of the stuff has nothing to do with the kernel -- the only two things
that do are modesetting and the PAE KDLs getting fixed, the other 20-30
items are userland stuff.
