This is fair enough. I wouldn't press the issue at this point though. You have not seen me come out and say: "I want to do that." At this point, I am still picking up new concepts and ideas and try to evaluate them. There are some things where I say: "This sounds interesting." However, at some point I _will_ come forward and say what I want to do and work on. I will do it very clearly and specific. Can we postpone the discussion if this should be called "GNU Hurd" or "GNI Hird" until that time? Until then, I would like to hear much more about what you think the goals are, and how they can be accomplished. These are very challenging questions at a technical level. Please also note that some goals are contradictory. It's important to understand where and why to make a reasonable decision.
