Where else would you put it? I suppose that you *could* write a
database as lkm's (sybase on Novell, for example, but on that system
_any_ third-party application is a lkm, with the expected hilarity
when the application scribbles someplace it doesn't want to.)

It's an application, and userland is an *ideal* place to put applications.
