I keep hearing this type of thing and always find it humorous.  If I
incorporate an Erlang node into a project I'm concerned about the 
stability of the resulting system.  While Erlang could be a shared 
application environment like, a Unix system, it isn't used that way
anywhere.  In OTP you see this philosophy in the release handler.  
There is no way to add a new application on to a running system, you
may only upgrade.  So if we are always using the Erlang node to do 
just the one job, and that job needs a linked in driver, why would
I be so concerned about the possibility of a node crashing because
my code was bad?  If my code is bad it doesn't work period.

Now I realize that it's a different situation if I'm proposing
introducing my hair brained linked in driver to the AXD project ...
