VP dropped bits saying:
They are still struggling because Freedom is not the primary
motivation. When Linux, the kernel filled the last main component for
a complete Free Operating System, the biggest motivation -- Freedom --
is gone, and now the driving force for Hurd is a technically superior
kernel replacement that the current operating system research
recommends -- micro kernel design.
i'm with you there 100% micro kernels are the future.
Microkernels are theoretically superior. In practice however, you
almost always need a compromise between theoretically superior
technology and efficiently implementable technology. Linux's pluggable
modules are just such a compromise, and works well.
