This might be true for the software you get from CMU but I can assure
you that when a vendor like Encore (who else is *delivering* Mach?
show of hands :-) delivers Mach for their system it's what you would
expect, a full system distribution.

I would assume that NeXT will do the same thing, so this shouldn't
be a concern.
