I don't agree with the absolute seperation of kernel (Linux) vs. user land (Cobalt). The ones goes along with the other. Due to the new features introduced by having a Linux kernel (for instance the superb TCPIP stack), Cobalt would most likely also introduce new applications such as an SSH Client, etc.
Also, hacker, you quoted FreeBSD. Remember that kernel and user land are very tightly integrated in this case. Unlike it is the case with Linux, everytime you update the kernel sources and recompile them, you should also do the same with the user land files.
Hence I am *convinced* Cobalt, if it ever returns from vaporware, would look different if it was built on top of Linux.
