[I think this is related to the discussion of the gnu system, thus I am
sending it here]
Users have expressed fear at the future of the linux-kernel; believing
that it is now out of the hands of any programmer not employed by one of
the large tech companies, and they fear for the future if the future is
tied to it, solely (single point of failure).
On the 4chan anime image board, the tech section (one of the few
free-speech and non-tracking boards still existing (we used to have anon
chat, bbs, newsgroups, etc)) has asked you if you could program on HURD
maybe?
Is such possible? A stub for HURD could be perhaps even be made to make
use of the linux-kernel's various free hardware-drivers maybe...
Also: most of the people on 4chan's technology board love you.
It's only the people on the /pol/ board (the american-politics board)
who oppose you.

Is Herd still being developed?
I checked and it hasn't received an update in two years. Are we going
to be forever stuck with Linux?

i do not like how people are making software more and more
politicalized. software should be only concerning about the code
quality, not about who wrote it or if the person who wrote this section
is non-white, etc. i think if Linux (the kernel) followed OpenBSD's
rule of 0% political it would be better, but that is not going to
happen.
i really do hope GNU Hurd will be completed because Linux is just a
mess, it also doesnt give me a good impression that i have to use
Linux-Libre because Linux includes firmware blobs within the source
tree.

Goodbye, Linux.
Hello, GNU Hurd!
(There were some criticisms though:
( >RMS stopped programming years ago )
