Mmmm, human lives are more and more becoming dependent on the 
safe and reliable operation of hardware and software. "Small" 
bugs can cause a cascade of downstream hazards to thousands of 
people. "My programming language must have unions" and "I really 
really want the kernel to be small" will eventually not be 
acceptable excuses for non-maximally-safe software, whether it's 
a kernel or not.
