In the HURD, the filesystems aren't in the kernel.  In fact, precious
little is in the kernel.

If you want a magical undeleting filesystem, you can write one.  You
could probably even write it as a translator that sits on top of any
other filesystem.

This is what makes the HURD so cool as compared to traditional Unix.
