I said nothing about device drivers.

I talked about filesystem drivers.

The filesystem specific code in the XQP would be implemented as
a filesystem driver in a modular system (which is exactly what
happens on Linux).

If you look at how Linux works, you will see that what is a monolithic
mass of code on VMS, which cannot be changed or added to by an end-user,
is actually a nicely modular and layered architecture on Linux.
