Yes. But Marcus has worked very hard on this, and none of us wish to
displace him.
Marcus is trying to satisfy a dream that he cannot (yet) fully
articulate. The visible portions of that dream appeals to many people
here. One reason that I have *not* volunteered to act as a HURD
maintainer is that my dreams are different.
Unfortunately, Marcus is suffering from insufficient time, and this
impedes progress. At some point, progress must become more important
than serving a dream that is not yet articulated. If not, then the dream
becomes an end in itself. It may still be beautiful, but we will not
produce a system that way.

Shap,
I was not slighting Marcus, HurdNg, or anything else. I am simply
stating that if others are not satisfied with waiting on Marcus, they
are free to start their own projects. Marcus and/or Neal can still
continue on their path.
