Hi, interestingly, you are talking about desktop systems only.
However, one important class of applications are servers. And servers usually are multi-user oriented. This is not necessarily so, but many are. There is a huge legacy of administration manuals how to set up such systems, in a "reasonably secure manner". For example, how to set up web servers and virtual domains. This is an important legacy, and to preserve it, I think you need to provide a whole environment, including boot scripts and what not all. I don't think that this is considerably harder than writing any other POSIX emulation layer, for example one that can run unmodified GNU/Linux binaries. But it is a somewhat different class of applications you have not commented at all on, and I would like to hear your opinion on this issue.
