I heard that on #hurdfr I think (the “nightmare” of pipes and the fact GNU Hurd would be forced to follow POSIX, also that I remember having seen braurn doing a minifork of Hurd to experiment features without following POSIX, I don’t remember the name but it looked like a proper name…), I’d need maybe to ask again, except if those who said that (or something approaching that that I could have misunderstood) is present on this mailing-list.
