In fact while I am being frank, what is your level of interest in the
Hurd Richard? The few times that I have seen you speak or read your
commentaries, you don't show much of an interest yourself. You speak of
Ututo and others when you have legions of folks that you could probably
drive to the "GNU System".
When we started development of the Hurd, it was absolutely essential.
We needed a free kernel, and there was none.
Since we have Linux, the Hurd is no longer essential. Making the Hurd
work well would be good for two reasons:
* Because it would be more powerful than Linux.
* Because it would be a GNU kernel.
The unfortunate thing is that making the Hurd really secure
requires Coyotos. I just asked Marcus Brinkmann how progress
is on Coyotos.
