It is about fundamental approach. We always modularize things: split into
smaller subunits each of the last doing its smaller task. This allows to
make smaller things work reliably, and test these smaller things more
comprehensively. As it is much smaller number of combinations of factors
you need to repeat your test with in case of subunits. People use this
approach for ages. Programs are split into subroutines. Rockets are built
from to awful degree independent modules. We had this "modular" system V
boot until recently. We lost it. We got "iPhone, with whatever you can get
in App store" instead. And not all of us are pleased by this change. And,
BTW, there was one of the posts of MS Windows big fan on this list who
welcomes this change; his post should have made everybody think...
