Would be a great operating system for routers and such; hopefully someone will pick up on it 
Personally, I'd love to see a firmware developed based on this - supporting all the hardware on the motherboard and exposed to the developer using a single set of specifications so that one can write for those specifications rather than having to write drivers for each device.

Ecos was developed by Cygnus and acquired by Red Hat. It was donated to FSF a while back but it is still hosted by sourceware.org, a Red Hat administrated website.
