It would be nice if the Hurd could run on anything that implements L4.
Interoperability is the key here, so I think we should endeavor to make
it run on all of these. My initial question was just to see which ones
we should put in CVS to get things going.

I think maybe that fiasco isn't far enough along. Which of the many L4
microkernels out there is the most stable, complete, and easy to use? I
think that would be the best choice to get things going with.
