Comments on your plan #1

Please spend more time on the presentation in your plan.md. It looks horrible.

You want to expand the story of the plan to discuss how this can be made to relate to providing security within the IoT. I missed this aspect.

Thanks for the constructive criticism. I will update the plan.md to make it look more presentable.

As far as the security, I was thinking about showing how lkl improves the functionality of composite which can ultimately used to isolate embedded systems. Is this not enough?

What you're proposing, if I understand it, is to get LKL working in the system, in a single component. Essentially, you're looking to enable Linux execution as a unikernel. That doesn't add much functionality to the overall system as it is unavailable to the rest of the system. Making it accessible through "system calls" from other component fixes that. I'd add it as a "stretch goal".
