You wrote a lot of other informative comments in your email. But yes, I fully agree that it's time to read about these various kernels and try to make a decision. This decision should also include a cost-benefit analysis to determine the feasibility of the Hurd getting it accomplished, and we should stick to a schedule (or die trying).
Personally, I will be spending the next couple weeks reading about EROS and Coyotos for two reasons:
1) Marcus mentioned I should consider EROS' single-level-store paper for ideas on persistent design for the device driver framework I will propose in a week.
2) Because you talk so much about it, and it is driving my curiosity. This also goes in hand with me being inexperienced in OS/microkernel concepts, and learning more is always better.
These are the issues that I know about with Coyotos per se. They are
substantial issues, and they deserve careful thought. I also have some
fairly radical ideas about how to resolve them, but I want to hold off
on those until the Hurd group has a better sense of which direction it
will choose.
