I would say in response to this that the only problem Marcus really identifies here is that you can escape chroot jails with passive translators, which is true, but also a part of the Hurd. The Hurd does not support chroot jails of the Linuxy/BSD sort. That's ok, because we can make a jail a different way: by blocking the servers you have access to. But if you have access to the core servers, you have access to the real system root, in many many ways. This was a conscious design choice, and I don't think it's problematic.
