In the far future one could envision that the current allocators will just become storage algorithms that can be chosen based on the need of the subsystem. F.e. Cpu cache dependend performance = Bonwick allocator (SLAB) Minimal cycle count and cache footprint = SLUB Maximum storage density = SLOB
While we are at it, do we plan to lift the vowel-only usage restriction and start allowing consonants for the 3rd letter? We're running short of vowels, so we can only accommodate 2 more allocators if this restriction stays.
