Yes exactly, I completely agree! I was about to say that, but even with that rather restrictive definition it still doesn't make sense to want things like QUIC anywhere else but in userland.

But whenever I hear about "philosophy" in a discussion about kernels, I just default to assuming that they mean "whatever Linux does is the right way™".

But hey, I should've just skipped my kernel courses since they didn't teach me a lot about "kernel philosophy" lol.
