A question about the Hurd

Is the Hurd going to be organized as a kernel which presents one or more
virtual machines, each of which may operate one of various single- or
multiple-session single-user servers (appearing to be an operating system
to the user)?

[diagram of this idea below]

    |                 kernel of the Hurd (Mach-based)               |
    |                                                               |
     ---------------------------------------------------------------
         |               |               |      ...   <-- n virtual machines
         |               |               |
     ---------       ---------       ---------
    | virtual |     | virtual |     | virtual |
    | machine |     | machine |     | machine |
     ---------       ---------       ---------
       |   ...          |   ...         |   ... <-- perhaps multiple
      user             user            user         users or sessions
                                                    sessions per virtual
                                                    machine

Is this about right?
