That's what has been happening over the last years.  There exists an
implementation on top of Mach out of which lessons were learnt.  Marcus,
Neal, and other people started to redesign various low-level things on
top of the L4 of the time (look at the `doc' directory in the
repository).  Eventually, people started to implement it.  Eventually,
it turned out that some of the decisions made were arguably flawed.  And
this is where the Hurd on L4 is: trying to fix these flaws.

I consider this to be incremental actually.

Thanks,
Ludovic.
