Eh, a point for you :)

I'm sorry to say that even if BONE crashes sometimes for me, it does it far
less than net_server, which used to eat up all the memory before freezing all
the system every 5 minutes when using BeShare (so I don't see the use of out-of
-kernel networking if it crashes it anyway :P)
Moreover in-kernel networking has it ups:
- available at boot, which means : bootp, nfs root (for *nix OSes that is) ...
- lower latency
- higher throughput
- sockets as files (yeah I know we can do it for net_server as well using a
user filesystem or a device driver, but hey that's not plain userland then :P)
