With enough effort put on that, I'd probably agree with you. However,
I think that would require a lot of effort to learn how to split them clearly
(consider that you'd want your kernel to be operational despite user programs
problems).

Given that, I'd vote for duplication of code. With some effort, the code
can be borrowed "as is", without keeping a different version.
