I think using Hazelnut would be a better choice. the L4 is
still under development and FIASCO is an implementation of an
old version with few drawbacks (limited low number of process, etc..)
Hazlenut is the implementation of a newer version X.2. But the newest
version (version 4) named Pistachio is still under development.

See the hurd on L4 documents. The work they do is interesting as they
explain the choices they do :
