from that link: "Please note that in June, 1998, long after the exokernel was a working system, the exokernel CVS repository was discarded..." Which makes me think his award comes long after his involvement in the project. What's the most up to date project to hack around with? Is this it? (the last tarball is dated 2000 and most of the pages on exokernals are dated 1998).

The stale-ness of the code is briefly addressed 20 min into the talk below.

In a perfect world, an exokernel OS would be roughly as stale as the architecture it was built for.

Imagine an operating system that could conceivably be 'done', in a development sense.
