Even if not meaning exactly that, a lot of the topics Anrew Morton addressed in a presentation at the ‘Japan Linux Symposion’ in July 2008 ([1] Andrew Symposion) are pointing in that direction. What is lacking and what is coming next?

In regard to technology, Andrew points out some very important things for the next years:

• Filesystems
• Memory management
• OS virtualization (container)
• Resource control (per container resource control)
• Tracing

In general, his summary is a little bit frustrating - have a look at it yourself. More on that soon.
