Really, the bigger the codebase more possible bugs we have, more time we
spend to maintain it, more people should be involved in testing and
validating the code.

We already have a huge kernel. And booting is just about taking the cpu
out of reset state.

Maybe allowing some sort of flashing method as well, but this is other
stuff.
