Lazy scheduling
The short discussion on lazy scheduling seems to be an idiosyncrasy of the original L4 implementation, and not a design principle that is applicable to microkernels in general. In a typical synchronous IPC implementation there is absolutely no need for the sender to be put on the ready queue (it is blocked, not ready). Consequently, there is no benefit to the so-called optimization described here. In any case, QNX does not implement such a scheme, contrary to what is stated in the last sentence of the paragraph.

uKernel == RTOS?
Hi, can we say a uKernel is a (modern) RTOS? How to draw the line in 2021 with hundreds of RTOS available but few "microkernel OS". What qualifies for each architecture? Which RTOS show uKernel ambitions, which don't? Article mentions QNX, which is clearly called RTOS these days. If I cross-read this article, it clearly needs updating. --17387349L8764 (talk) 20:00, 5 April 2021 (UTC)
- Add: Section Nanokernel needs cleaning; it mentions 'historically'; this term is not used in professional environments at all.--17387349L8764 (talk) 20:03, 5 April 2021 (UTC)
