Sure - Andrew Tanenbaum is the author of Minix - a small Unix system.
He was totally against the design principles of the Linux kernel,
so.... :-)
Another of my taglines says:
I still maintain the point that designing a monolithic kernel in 1991
is a fundamental error. Be thankful you are not my student. You
would not get a high grade for such a design :-)
(Andrew Tanenbaum to Linus Torvalds)
And another:
Your job is being a professor and researcher: That's one hell of a
good excuse for some of the brain-damages of minix.
(Linus Torvalds to Andrew Tanenbaum)
