For what it's worth, I have no particular objection, however it's
really a sort of one-shot switch.  Once we switch, we blow away the
old gnumach, and we're switched, with whatever bugs that entails.  

(Well, we might choose to do parallel releases like Linux, but I
really think that's more effort than it's worth for us, at this
point.)

This is definitely true, and it's a long-term goal, but not a
short-term one.
