What's next? Repeat? Sounds like this could turn into a maintainance nightmare quickly. Also because I've introduced things like that myself in the past, and that was for normal applications and not a kernel or OS. Somewhere, someday, there's usually this one exception for which none of your rules hold true and the thing blows up in your face. Anyway, I'd love to see the actual code for this. Not a chance probably?
