S-expressions transported over a hypertext transfer protocol?  Python  
inside a virtualization daemon?  RPC for interprocess  
communications?  There is definitely a very "different" mindset  
behind the design decisions going on in xen, and it's being disguised  
as "code reduction".  I thought it was accepted a long time ago that  
the SLOC metric for simplicity and quality of design was about as  
useful as measuring the monetary value of a lump of gold by how it  
smells.
Can someone please stop sucking me into these dead end discussions  
about bad engineering in action?  (Stop adding me to CC: lines  
please).  I'm not on the mailing list, I don't use xen, and really  
could care less which way that project chooses to go.
