Proof assistant kernel, not operating system kernel - in case, like me, you clicked in hoping to debate the merits of microkernels vs monolithic:) Although I suppose there is a significant analogy, since the argument here... if I understood right... is very close to the classic 'and now a small defect in a device driver just panicked the system or gave an attacker root', just in math terms.
