I was his advisor on that thesis so I got to watch it roll out as it happened.

uvm replaced the machvm in netbsd. 

For a time, Chuck set it up to run in parallel with the existing VM. You could start a process and pick which vm it used. For a while, it defaulted to the existing one. Then, at some point, it defaulted to uvm. Then, at some point, the old one was removed.

uvm replaces machvm netbsd

chuck was a long time contributor to netbsd IIRC, but last time we talked, he was using Linux.

These days I know he's hacking on FreeBSD's storage stack with me at work :). I think he's still a netbsd contributor. I see his name in the commit log often..
