I think Hurd is not a good example of this. Hurd being sidelined seems to me to be a result of bikeshedding (which microkernel to use) and realizing that Linux (as a kernel) had more effort being poured into it because it had more mindshare.

At more or less a leisurely pace as a passion project more than the end goal being production, precisely because the social goal that it was trying to achieve has been mostly achieved by the Linux kernel.
