The paper suggests:

> a new process starts as an empty address space, and an advanced user may manipulate it in a piecemeal fashion, populating its address-space and kernel context prior to execution, without needing to clone the parent nor run code in the context of the child. ExOS [43] implemented fork in user-mode atop such a primitive. Retrofitting cross-process APIs into Unix seems at first glance challenging, but may also be productive for future research.
