* Low line count and low code complexity is the highest good, so it is easy to learn the whole thing. Users should see the light at the end of the tunnel.

* The primary metric for resolving all ZealOS code governance issues is how fast the compiler compiles itself and the kernel with $LK,"BootHDIns",A="MN:BootHDIns"$(). The secondary metric is how understandable the code is. The $LK,"ZealC",A="FI:::/Doc/ZealC.DD"$ language should be changed to optimize these metrics, as Terry Davis did when he changed type casting from prefix to $LK+PU,"postfix",A="FF:::/Doc/ZealC.DD,postfix"$.

* Just one 8x8 fixed-width font. $FG,4$No Unicode, just Extended ASCII$FG$. Other countries can make their own versions. The versions should be just for one language and platform.
* Fully self-hosted self-reproducing functionality on bare-metal and in VMs, primarily via AHCI ATAPI burned CD/DVD discs (ñR/W).

The goal is to be a fully-functional, self-reproducing x86_64 PC operating system running in $FG,2$ring-0 only$FG$, designed for modern machines with $FG,2$AHCI$FG$.
Roadmap:
- AHCI driver that is capable of reading and burning CD/DVD discs (ñR/W).
- Write drivers for the 5 most common ethernet cards.
- PCNet-II (Virtualbox)
- 82545EM (VMWare; QEMU?)
- ...
- ...
- ...
- Create a clean and robust networking stack that supports sockets, TCP, UDP, IP, ICMP, DHCP, and an HTTP library.
- Write applications using this networking stack.
- Write a JSON library, so REST APIs can be used.
- Whole system VCS, with root being top-level directory. Stored repo inside the OS, you can checkout any commit onto another partition and boot it to see what the OS was like in that commit.
- Pull updates directly onto root filesystem from network. (it's a repo source tree after all).
- Code clean up and refactoring.
- Perhaps support for USB keyboard and mice.
