In that thread from 1995, Clemens Szyperski refers to Oberon/F (the
precursor of
BlackBox) as the available realization of the ideas of his thesis:

  [...]
  Therefore, there is *no* version of Ethos available
  whatsoever. (Just in case that you ask me ;-)
  However, the Oberon/F framework can be considered an evolutionary
successor
  of Ethos. All the main ideas of Ethos, as far as construction of
extensible
  systems is concerned, are present in Oberon/F as well. The Oberon/F
  documentation covers most of this.
