I have checked this earlier. Its pretty cool stuff, but its more in the direction of userspace emulation like what GVisor do.

The OP expressed he wanted to use (or create idk) a micro-kernel based OS, and that in the end he would like to scrap the Linux kernel.

Of course the solution you are pointing out will deliver in one of those axis, but the solution im pointing out would deliver in both, Linux emulation/sandboxing and a micro-kernel based OS controlling all of this.

I just think that the direction Fuchsia is going, has a little bit more to do, to what he is trying to achieve.

But he can totally mix the 'syscall proxy' solution of ChromeOS and a micro-kernel, even if this would still be Zinc or something else. And depending on the goal, maybe having this in userspace level would make more sense. He just need a good and flexible IPC communication (like the one in Chrome, or something on the kernel level).
