[ros-dev] Pale Moon drops ReactOS support

[Love Nystrom]

Correct me if I'm wrong (Alex?), but isn't the biggest difference
between kernel 5.2 and 6.x that 6.x is *paging the kernel* ?
(A huge design mistake if you ask me. One I bet will bite MS on the a**.
If the kernel gets too fat it needs liposuction, not paging.)

IMHO, adding new APIs, while keeping the (non-paging) kernel seems ideal.
