I don't know if that has so many benefits, since IMO the HURD is technically superior to linux.

However, If you are interested in a HURD on top of UN*X, I'd like to suggest a different approach: The HURD will (hopefully) be ported to the L4 microkernel, which will have a usermode port real soon: Udo Steinberg has ported Fiasco (an L4 variant) to usermode. He hasn't really published his results tough, but from what i have heard, he will do so in August. I am quite interested to take a look on helping porting the HURD to L4 using Fiasco-UX (the said usermode L4).
