Right, I see at least 2 actionable items: * "The Checklist" which everyone making a syscall should follow and we create the checklist with input from both sides and it becomes the thing you reference e.g. "Did you follow the checklist? Where is X?" * Programmatic / Machine readable description of syscalls. This way the kernel gives users the ability to autogenerate all the wrappers *if they want to* in a consistent way that matches this syscall description format. -- Cheers, Carlos.
