msd [pronounced /m.s.d/] (or µsd [pronounced /micro.s.d/]) stand for “micro-display server”. It is a toy project of a display server with an architecture resembling that of a microkernel. The reason for having a display server architectured as a microkernel is so that components of the display server can be replaced online. That is, when you install a newer version of the display server you can start running the new version without having to restart the display server. Moreover, it allows you to replace components with your own versions or add new components, with exception of parts that need the special privileges. Is this vaporware? Probably I often bored with graphical projects. Graphics sucks.
