This seems like as opportune of a time as any to ask this: What are the "nifty Hurd features that Unix doesn't have"? So far I've just caught bits and pieces of the benefits of the Hurd, so I was wondering if anyone could (or already has) give a quick run down of the planned features for the Hurd, and how that will relate to its effect on everyday usage (the one example that comes to mind is I think I saw mentioned that it would be possible to switch UID while running another program so you could make a quick root change to a file without having to stop and restart the editor).
