Thanks for your offer. Stubdomains are definitely one of the use cases 
for this project. Did you work with it in the past?

This is a good point, and I agree that we should keep this in mind.

Unikernels/Microkernels (single application OSes) rather than to build 
multi-application OSes, like Linux. This simplification enables further 
tuning options to the OS layers.
