Hi,

Developer momentum means that the kernel is likely to get fixed

So in this sense resiliency does depend upon something being in
the kernel or not.

I can only agree here. Lots of users use their own kernels instead 
of distribution kernels. Much less users divert core software from 
their distribution.

The big binary called bzImage/vmlinux whatever is a huge usability
advantage here :-)
