I think this has already been done. And they called it Darwin...

hey!
i'm curious about all these new operating systems,
that all claim to be the next generation.
there are many out there. plan9, hurd, eros, movitz. and many
vaporware projects as well, such as lainos. but they all want to
reinvent the wheel. i think this approach is wrong. instead, we
should try to attach the wheel to its vehicle, and make sure its
road is alright. not to mention; going the right way.
a project where real unix would meet real life, or where open
source would meet open minds -- would have to make unix more human-
oriented rather than machine-oriented. and in addition to bringing
order to the chaos that was laid as the foundation for all unix
variants decades ago, it should also deal with new ways of
interacting with unix visually. for instance, in ways more
convenient than x, and its conventional graphical user interfaces
(though these won't go away any time soon).
ofcourse we'd have to get out of the code-only rut, and try to
incorporate more natural elements from the ground up. such as
design, like that conceived through real life architecture etc.
having style doesn't mean it's commercial.
i'm curious whether anybody would like to team up with me, to try
and map out the ideas for how a real next generation unix would be.
i'll soon have a pdf ready for those who are interested. in my
humble opinion, this would be a great way for you to make bsd the
way you've always wanted it.
i guess that's it;
