I think packages that are Linux-specific by design are all in (gnu
packages linux).

Yes, agreed.

The Hurd supports fine-grain virtualization, so it wouldn=E2=80=99t be hard=
 to
do (=E2=80=9Csub-hurds=E2=80=9D correspond to completely isolated container=
s, launching
a separate =E2=80=98proc=E2=80=99 server gives you a separate PID name spac=
e, etc.)

Thanks,
