At the 1999 Workshop on Hot Topics in Operating Systems (HotOS VII),
the attendees reached consensus that the most important issue facing
the OS research community was "No-Futz" computing; eliminating the
ongoing "futzing" that characterizes most systems today. To date,
little research ahs been accomplished in this area. Our goal in
writing this paper is to focus the research community on the
challenges we face if we are to design systems that are truly
futz-free, or even low-futz.
