I believe that they are way too fast to announce something. They didn't make a poll to ask for ideas.

But I don't think there are a viable amount of volunteers to keep up with all the code in the OS.

I agree but they can re use code. Fiasco.OC or Genode OS can re-use code at the kernel level. They can reimplement Opensolaris on top of them. L4Env is agood candidate and they can re-use LINUX-DDEkit or improve FREEBSD-DDEkit. They could also create their own OSOL-DDEkit. My take is to use directly IOKit and port all the drivers there but

1. I cannot estimate porting time since it uses mach and not L4 (possibly not that difficult)
2. Licencing is another setback.

You minimize the volunteers needed in such ways. This is what is traditionally done at the applications level.
