If you were documenting yourself a bit instead of trolling, you'll
notice that's the GNU Hurd is not based on Mach. The GNU Hurd tries to
be micro-kernel independant, and will be ported to other microkernels,
like L4 Version 4.
And if you look a bit in the history, you'll notice that second
generation micro-kernels (like L4) were not available, or even
designed, at the time Mach was chosen as the first microkernel to make
the Hurd runs on.
