> That minimal quality of most of the OS not being present also explains why the container the drivers run in is called a rump kernel
I have seen a number of articles on 'rump' kernels and they always similarly gloss over the name like this. How does that explain? It's not capitalized, so I assume it is not an acronym that stands for something.
Where does this name come from? Is it an acronym, portmanteau, metaphor, what? I have never seen it clearly explained, and I have followed link trails down the rabbit hole through circular references and wikis looking, half a dozen times at least, to no avail.

Can someone please clue me in?
