Why use L4? Why create an L4 microkernel if one already exists?

0

The L4 specification specifies all the parts of the kernel and how they must interact. This will give us focus and a goal during implementation. In addition, the L4 specification is small. I think it is resonable size project to tackle. And yes, I know that other (finished) L4 microkernels are out there. However, I want to learn about how to build an operating system. So I want to start from scratch. Plus, the fact that other operating systems exist doesn’t seem to keep people from writing new ones.
