But that is another topic, biased by history.
I think both issues, not accepting to declare GNU GNU/Guix as the official GNU System and Hurd not progressing as much as it could, have the same source: a certain bureaucracy which hierarchize importance of interdependent chaotic things (how can you say “a thing A is more important than an other thing B, therefore we have to put more effort on A than B”, if B can influence A, more than A can influence B, and this applied to a really complex development ecosystem?) and forcing Hurd to follow and implement POSIX and other depassed standards.
