Yes, this is true. Old MacOS apps don't really get the benefit of all the
new kernel offers. At least you can reboot the Classic environment if one of
them brings it down, but then that brings all the Classic apps down.
On the other hand, the old MacOS architecture is so long in the tooth I think
a drastic measure like this is totally necessary.
