Clever ?, debatable. More like an impenetrable trainwreck. A whole
shedload of complexity, for no good reason, and goes against all
principles of unix. Both Sun and FreeBSD did it right, in that their
system management layered on top of what was already there, via
xml scripts, in the Sun case. Classic software layered partitioning,
the correct way to do things, but doubt many brought up on a diet of
Java and Python would understand such software engineering
principles, or care...
