That seems hard to achieve now. If a BSD kernel had been adopted
originally, Linux might well never have become popular. Getting the Hurd
to catch up to what the Linux kernel can do now, but doing it better,
would be an immense task. 

Relatively few people and organisations want to replace chunks of their
operating systems, and hence the attractiveness of a system design which
makes that easy is quite limited.
