I will not give a "technical" opinion since I have not at the moment the competence to do that, but I have a practical proposition to make. I have thought about this, but didn't know if you were interested enough in it to try it. I was the organizer of the zeroth Debian Conference, and I'm still the organizer of the next : the Debian Conference 1. The conference is embedded in the Libre Software Meeting, which will be hold from 4th to 8th of July 2001 in Bordeaux (France). My proposal : invite some L4 developers so that we can have during these 5 days presentations, in-depth discussions, about kernels/micro-kernels and HURD (developers of Linux will be here during the LSM, and the presence of *BSD developers could not be a bad thing, IMHO). This part will be a topic in its own right ; there will remain in the Debian Conference only the Debian related discussions (distribution). I think that a five days continuous diving in the micro-kernels/HURD subject would be of great benefit for the people and the project (the docs answer some questions, but many more arise...)
