As I have understood it, gnumach is quite ugly and noone is willing to
do more than absolutely necessary maintenance on it. OSKit development
is more active.

Furthermore, if/when l4-hurd takes of, I imagine OSKit could still be
used, but linked into various user-space drivers instead of into the
kernel.
