Description

```
Description: The initial kernel build cut many interfaces at a very high level.
The resulting monolithic kernel is then rather large. It would
not be a prohibitively large task to reorganize the interfaces so
that NuttX is built as a micro-kernel, i.e., with only the core
OS services within the kernel and with other OS facilities, such
as the file system, message queues, etc., residing in user-space
and to interfacing with those core OS facilities through traps.
Status: Open
Priority: Low. This is a good idea and certainly an architectural
improvement. However, there is no strong motivation now do
do that partitioning work.
