Not at all!

We often use setups similar to the one Frank described (external L4 task doing real-time work, L4Linux runs a timesharing load) for research purposes.
I am not aware of anyone who used L4Linux clients for real-time work, but the idea is interesting. I see that L4Linux clients are easier to develop and debug. However, Frank recently finished an L4-task loader for L4Linux that regains some of Linux' convenience for L4 development.
- Is L4-Linux going to keep up with the revisions of Linux in the
future?
We certainly plan keeping L4Linux up-to-date, but I cannot make any promises. It's a matter of demand (both by ourselves and by others) and resources.
