Oh, so now the kernel is the least important part of the OS? Cool. Then
let's stop development of the kernel and focus on what's really
important! If you don't know what you're talking about, please don't say
anything.

GNU/Hurd, which is in a VERY early state of development. And no, even with
all these GNU tools, it will NOT be Linux.
For the rest of readers of the list: please excuse me for the tone of the
