Is Mirage on L4 something that, if realized, would provide application developers with a more secure basis for building their own applications? I'm but a simple application developer but I do care about security and if there were a platform I could develop against that gave me confidence my code was far less likely to be undermined by kernel or TCP stack vulnerabilities I think I'd be encouraged to do a better job of security myself. This might not be the ideal human attitude toward secure programming but I might not be alone in feeling like my best efforts rest on shaky foundations and that's somewhat demoralizing.
