The new architects of Lunix [I like that word - I pronounce it Loonix]
consider an increase in complexity progress :

 http://primates.helixcode.com/~miguel/bongo-bong.html

"Bonobo is our proposed solution to create reusable software components in
Unix and keeping the spirit of "Small is beautiful".
Each component will focus on implementing a complete and correct set of
interfaces and features.
We have chosen CORBA as the foundation for our component architecture. "


I particularly like the section on how much simpler system administration
will be using CORBA components rather than text files.
