+ <braunr> a microkernel loosely based on mach for a future hurd-like system
+ <JoshuaB> ok. no way! Are you in the process of building a micro-kernel

+ <braunr> not the hurd, a hurd-like system
+ <JoshuaB> ok wow. sounds pretty cool, and tricky
+ <braunr> the hurd could, but would require many changes too, and the point
+ of this rewrite is to overcome the most difficult technical performance
+ and scalability problems of the current hurd
+ <braunr> doing that requires deep changes in the low level interfaces
+ <braunr> imo, a rewrite is more appropriate
+ <braunr> sometimes, things done in x15 can be ported to the hurd
+ <braunr> but it still requires a good deal of effort
