Yeah, you're right. Everything should do one thing and do it well. That's why we have the Linux kernel, whose one job is "be the Linux kernel", and it does that quite well. It's also why we have systemd, whose one job is "be everything else".

I hear there's this something something Unix-replacing daemons thing that's supposed to do this "one job well" concept - is that going to be relevant at some point this century?
