If Viengoos fullfills the hopes I have in it since I read the paper from Neal,
then it's likely that the GNU/Hurd will be ported to it.
In the meantime (the next few years at least I assume), the Hurd will use the
gnumach kernel.
If you're interested in Viengoos and porting the Hurd and stuff, please have a
look at the hurd-l4 mailinglist:
http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/l4-hurd
Best wishes,
Arne
PS: Please reply onlist - there are far more knowledgeable people than me on
the lists, and you miss the chance to get an answer from them.
