Hi Farid,
without wanting to harm the essential message of your mail, I have two
comments.

The Hurd is not a single server OS, it is one of the rare multiserver
systems, which makes it so special. The only thing I could probably see
fitting this point is booting a subhurd, which is already possible with the
"boot" command, and it is pretty straightforward to use. I tested it
recently, and it worked quite well.

I think this is orthogonal to the other points (especially 1).
