L4 was popular at my university (Karlsruhe). While I never really looked into it in any detail, it always appeared to me like a project that is primarily interested in testing some theoretical ideas, but not in building anything that would be practically useful.
That was 20 years ago. As far as I can tell, this has not changed. (Quick googling tells me there appear to be some efforts to build an OS on it, but they all look more like proof of concepts, not like something with real-world use.)
