Of course the first effort on this was BSD lites...I wonder what the
hurd is going to do know...Apple got there first.

Anyway, I read somewhere that many Apple engineers were happier with a
monolitic kernel, (specificly FreeBSD) but the higher levels simply
wanted Mach. We will be able to make nice comparisons when we have a
FreeBSD port for the PowerPC...
