This notorious requirement (or strong recommendation) of keeping one's world
and kernel in sync is a pain in the ass and an indication of certain design
(or implementation) deficiencies.  Linux does not have this problem, for
instance.  It should be perfectly OK to run any kernel and userland within
reasonable time frame, instead of it being a bad idea.

Correct.  Proper APIs.  This would definitely help to decouple kernel and
userland.
