I'm glad this is getting brought up. Minix has so much potential and it is due for an open source community to care with a mission. Its hard to find where an org would use it since Linux is so popular and so few orgs really need a hyper reliable operating system with limited libraries and dependencies. Military or space problems?

For both military and space applications, I believe that real-time operating systems are employed. Minix is not in the sphere of RTOS.

  Yes, and also if it has to be certified for functional safety (as a lot of systems that use those kind of RTOSes have to be) then that really has to be designed into the system from the start. So Minix would probably be a non-starter in that regard too (as is something like Linux)
