This guy wants GuixSD for 60% his feature requests, like isolated apps, version control, snapshots, ease of configuration, and ability to abstract all of it away, and Hurd for his multi-threaded ambitions, modularity, ability to do things like mount a database in a home directory to use as a fileserver, and message passing. This is slowly happening already https://fosdem.org/2017/schedule/event/guixhurd/ https://fosdem.org/2017/schedule/event/guixhurd/
Then he wants to completely redesign a GUI to manage it all, which sounds a lot like Firefox OS with aware desktop apps, but with the added bonus that most things that req privileges on desktop OSs no longer need them with Guix. Software drivers are implemented in user space as servers with GNU Hurd, so you can now access these things and all the functionality that comes with them, exactly what the author wants.
