Or consider this. Unix grew by about 39 system calls in
its first
decade, but an average of 40
per decade ever since. Is this accelerated growth more symptomatic of
maturity or of cancer?
3rd option: competition. Linux competes against very modern
and certainly 'bloated' windows and macos operating system, defining what an OS
today is, and we must be better (we are already 4 sure).
