Subject: [feature request] Linux should never break, it should rebuild/repair
 itself automatically

One of the flaws in *NIX software is that a simple command can lead to
a nightmare, so I would like the kernel devs to write code that
repairs Linux automatically. I would like it if Linux became
completely stable regardless of memory failures, general hardware
failures, hacking, etc.

I hope this doesn't start a flame war, I understand that it might, but
please be nice. But since most of us have fast computers, so C++
support in the Linux kernel would be nice. You can do a lot with
inheritance, polymorphism and virtual templates that might be awesome
for Linux. C++ is a strong OO language (I think they started Object
Orientated Programming) and it has its benefits both in the kernel and
userland.

May the shwartz be with you.
