Let's hope Fuchsia fares better than Hurd.

Also, I guess the adoption of Fuchsia will be a litmus test of the GPL. Will its possibly technical merits outweight the strength of GPL to avoid fragmentation? I suspect the GPL has served Linux very well in this regard.

Given Google's muscles it will most likely have an impact in the mobile world, but whether it will reach beyond into the area of general computing is less certain.

Did you try running Emacs? Apparently the console version of Emacs has code to merge edits together so as be usable on slow high-latency connections (like in the 80's and early 90's I guess). In terms of refresh rate E-ink displays have similar characteristics so should be interesting to try!
