Excuse my ignorance on the matter, but a few queries.... 
How does integration into kernelspace affect the way users have control 
over
the networking modules?
What I mean to say is, if there is a problem, is it still possible to 
simply 'restart'
the net_server? And how about stability... is it wise to move things 
into kernel
space when they're still untested... even when they are tested?
As much as we might like to think otherwise, there are plenty of 
situations 
when things break, and killing the kernel team is probably not a 
NiceThing[tm]
