     These are serious concerns which involve various aspects of security.


     If you need a response of your system within a  given delay and 
with high security, then I think you should avoid any OS at all and 
rather program FPGAs.


     In several cases you mentionned, like ballot, crashing the system 
is not a big deal; which matters is to not deliver a wrong result. 
Better crash than give a wrong result.
