To both you and Daeken, Fascinating stuff this, I really hope to see something along these lines hit alpha at some point.
At some level I am deeply dis-satisfied with the ways we approach security, clustering and other bolt-ons onto the models that we are using today. Unix gets the security bit partially right, is hopeless at clustering but of all the os's with more than trivial levels of adoption in both these arenas it is still the best there is. There is definitely a window of opportunity to do this better, I think the years of exploits and patchy style of spreading work over multiple machines has prepared the ground somewhat.
At the same time, if giants like google and amazon shy away from OS research then you have to wonder what it is that they know that the rest of us don't.
