It is? When did they make it realtime, and is it hard-realtime or soft-realtime (not that realtime operation matters for anything but the baseband, which is totally isolated anyway.)

Scaling up is a matter of making drivers.
That's not what people refer to when they talk about something "scaling up."

But scaling down is impossible with Linux.
Really? That's news to me, and probably also to all the people using it in systems with no MMU and for realtime purposes. But then by your definition all you need to do is drop drivers and you've scaled down.
