The question is always "how big of a replacement are we talking?" Redox seems to be committed to interoperate well with POSIX, which naturally informs its design decisions. And there's a huge difference between having technical capabilities and succeeding. Although if Redox does succeed, it would already be a good step. seL4 is even more extreme in these qualities: its technical advantages are superb, but so far (and I think this will continue) it does not have what it takes, whatever that encompasses, to be the Next Big Thing. Ignoring political considerations, I think microkernels will be successful, and rightfully so.
