Not quite true, Bob.  There's a limit; any user, including admin, can
only belong to 32 groups.  It's a unix limit; not a cobalt or linux
limit.

Anyone could rewrite the kernel to get around it, but if you rewrite a
linux kernel, you must give it to the linux community.

My guess is that no one has because you can use various ownership models
that help you around the problem.  Cobalt designed their own ownership
model.  They had to; they can't allow you to make any changes you want
and still maintain the system their way.

My guess is that Kai probably should not own a RaQ.

He can always sell it for what the traffic will bear and sell it on
eBay; then someone (maybe I or a friend of mine) will buy it and make
about $1500/month off it <wry grin>.
