Thinking pie-in-the-sky .... I think that using it to teach elegant OS
programming under resource constraints would be a great niche.  It's a
lost art, but one that has many "teachable moments" built in.

If the code is easy to read, and commented in a way that eases people
into the concepts, and plays nice on 8086 emulators (which ones?),
then it could serve both the retro/collector PC community and the
programming community.
