Who wants a kernel? Distribute a bootable unikernel image that can be talked to via gRPC or something.
Obviously there are plenty of things you can't build that way (e.g. drivers), but for a server application that's intended to be accessed over the network anyway, like Clickhouse, I'm increasingly thinking that's the way to go.
