I agree.

Can you point me to any documentation about this?

100% agree. I'm doing that right now.
I also agree (more broadly) with the "lets have a HURD plan" view but
the point about free software is that it's easy for a bunch of other
people to come along and produce such a plan.
I think the best use of the time of people who are running HURD now
is to bugfix.
Though if you can point me to that documentation I will be doing my
own bit of development /8->
