       part AIUI, and scheduling contexts can be inherited explicitly too, like

+    <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
+      that the hurd may someday run on?
+    <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
