I don't think this is true. The documents I found here[0] and
here[1] gave me a lot of information about the direction of
Hurd-NG.
[0] http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/l4-hurd/2007-01/msg00007.html
[1] http://www.bddebian.com/~wiki/hurd/ng/philosophy/
Well, these documents are old, and this is what
http://www.bddebian.com/~wiki/hurd/ng/ says in the first paragraphs:
| There is an effort to create a completely new system design (for now
| called ngHurd, or Hurd-ng or HurdNG), which originated from the
| Hurd/L4 port.
| The original Hurd/L4, which was meant to be mostly a direct port of
| the existing Hurd design to a new microkernel, has been abandoned by
| it's main developers, because some technical issues with the L4
| Pistachio kernel turned out to be very fundamental. While
| reeveluating the design (and upcoming new L4 variants), the
| developers picked up some new ideas, and decided that now they
| rather want to work on a completely different design, which combines
| some of the original Hurd ideas with concepts from Jonathan
| Shapiro's high security EROS and Coyotos systems.
I guess some sorting out what HurdNG actually is needs to be done...
