OpenVMS may be written in about 8 different languages but I'm fairly sure
none are OO...except MAYBE the few C++ bits according to Wikipedia.
Mostly BLiss and Macro in the kernel. There's Fortran, Pascal, C and others
which were using in many libraries and utilities. The late Larry Kilgallen,
whose humor and wit I sincerely miss, wrote much of the security code in Ada.
Ada? I can imagine he does have an interesting sense of humour. ;)

it's a common problem. my favorite statistic like this is the boot loader for the 3b2 (which ran a flavor sys v.3) is larger than the v6 and v7 kernels. shameful IMHO
that said while I agree the OSes can bloat my experience is that many of us are unwilling to go back to the same "old system" for anything in production use and unfortunately their is the additional problem is there is rarely an agreement among us as to which of those new features from the bloated ones are the required ones.
what I have seen work to a limited extend is to create a new system with learnings over time and try to inject a new stronger strain into the Eco system. this was what Culter was trying do with Mica for vms. but being able to carry old binaries gets very hard.

Brian's scripts that push out new configs upon IP change.
I don't have brians scripts, and I'm using a config tool based on
netconf/yang to configure my routers. A Yang model for HECNet, anyone?
Meanwhile, if anyone need me to change a tunel on a box I hapens to
operate, send me a email with the needed info.

Hello!
Indeed not. That's what we were discussing. And to obtain SDSL service
would require those new clean wires. And then I realized I should
stick with what I have for the moment.
Meanwhile the local-loop provider is still unhappy at allow a cage to
rented to the vendor for hardware to produce such a service and to
send it to me. I don't know (and don't want to know) how many other
customers they have in my area.

AT&T's crappy (yet reliable) DSL service.
Incidentally what I am getting is fairly close to business class for
them. For what they consider to be business class it gets bumped up to
something resembling the WAN or wide area networking experiments.

That came up about two to three years ago here, perhaps as late as last
