Well, first of all, it's OOP in C, which is often a recipe for
ugliness. The code I've seen (*not* leaked, the sample headers that
were released) was a complete mess. Also, doing things in the kernel
meant not really being able to interact with user-space apps. For
instance, a net_server addon I wrote once that monitored ethernet
activity put up a deskbar widget. BONE add-ons couldn't do that.
