It may* have been fine for what it does, but like any good microkernel (including L4), Coyotos leaves resource partitioning to userspace servers. Most of what Viengoos does seems to me to be implementing means for resource management; choice of microkernel under that effort may or may not have had an effect on how difficult it was to implement. I don't think Neal made a bad choice, going with an established kernel (pistachio) as a base makes more sense than getting roped into maintaining one yourself (which may have happened had he used Coyotos), all things being equal. William Leslie * this does not imply that it *is* fine, some surely disagree.
