Yes, I know - I asked about Mach 3.0 as well.

>next is a ukernel implementation also.

Really?  I thought the original version of their OS, at least, was based
on Mach 2.x, with much of the kernel-type functionality (file systems,
for example) in the kernel rather than in servers.  Have they changed
that?

Everything including putatively privileged subsystems such as the file
system(s)?  Or does that appear in servers, rather than in user-mode
dynamically-linked libraries.
