	I think that we have to build a kernel (or a set of servers in L4 
paradigm) that is portable. I'm not sure that bliss is good enough to 
reach this goal. I'm not sure there is somewhere a open sourced bliss 
compiler that is stable and usable. And I'm not sure that there are 
bliss developers enough to start this project with bliss.

	That being said, I know that VMS users hate C. But I don't know why we 
cannot use a subset of C functionalities to cut of all "hatable" 
functionalities.
