Only that MkLinux and Darwin aren't really microkernel systems in
the Hurd sense. Both run BSD on Mach, while the HURD is a set of servers
which together provide all services a traditional Unix provides, and more.
MkLinux and Darwin are quite restricted to the BSD feature set.
Sure the pool isn't big, most people are satisfied with traditional
Unix. But it is a separate, almost exclusive Hurd pool.

Ah, and Debian *is* the Hurd distribution... since Hurd isn't just a
kernel, but *the* GNU system.
That is, most Hurd development these days *seems* to be in
Debianspace.
