Well, Linux is just a kernel, there's nothing to
argue about. Mutt is MUA, not a framework for
MUA/NNTPUA/whatever-you-like. Hope you get it.

On the other hand, both are free as in free
speech, so you are obviously free to tailor them
to your liking, producing Linux-as-a-system, or
mutt-as-a-framework.

Please don't forget then, that mutt and Linux
Developers are also free to either accept or
reject you patches and this will serve as a
indicator of Linux's as-a-systemness or mutt's
as-a-frameworkiness in public opinion.
