What I am talking about is the general design of Lisp-based OSes, such as OpenGenera and Medley, or indeed Smalltalk, as compared to OSes built from statically-compiled languages such as C, C++, Modula-2, Oberon, and so on.

The following is kinda preaching to the choir, but no disagreements there. My point is that Interlisp and Lisp Machines have Common Lisp support, so CL programs don't necessarily run on static OSes.
