As for the binary compatibility for other OSes, NetBSD has proven that they can do that without running Mach. Now if there is something else radically different which lites may offer then I think is a good idea. Why am I saying this? Well, we have gone thru several OS branches since the initial release of 386BSD. It will be nice to settle on one to exploit the hell out of the environment, for instance VR, Video, games, word processors, etc... If we keep changing our OS platform, it makes it kind of though to attract commercial products. On my opinion, the best thing that Mach has going for it is the current SMP work being done.
