We also have another fine working kernel: kFreeBSD.  This is a very
solid and matured alternative to Linux.  GNU/kFreeBSD is basically ready
for production use on servers and also on desktops.  I even run it for 2
years on my laptop.

I doubt that it makes any sense to spend resources on yet another
kernel, which has a couple of design problems.  The Hurd is still an
important research object.
