The Mach microkernel
http://www.gnu.org/software/hurd/microkernel/mach.html
is used by the GNU Hurd
http://www.gnu.org/software/hurd/hurd.html
with even a Debian version of it
http://www.gnu.org/software/hurd/hurd/running/debian.html

So, not a total failure. Just not wildly popular or widely supported.

Please avoid asking for Hurd-powered Mageia. 8)
