Maybe that's not such a good question (since I don't rightly
know what a true mu-kernel is -- but I'm curious...)

How about: do all the servers run only as user-mode processes?

If so, would someone mind summing up what the whole
mechanism/policy concept means with regard to the
OBOS/BeOS client-server-kernel architecture?

(After reading Daniel's newsletter article and Tanenbaum's Modern
OS's chp.1, my interest is piqued. :)
