As you might know, Guix is working on to also support GNU/Hurd. Maybe you can
make contributions there (in addition to Debian GNU/Hurd).

Surely,
Will 64 bit userland come in time? Also will you implement the hardening
features of KALSR (net bsd) / GrSecurity-PaX (who invented them). These
are necessary features today: otherwise you get rooted quickly.

That's not about RMS. This is a job for a few guys.
Well, just to be more clear, if you want a well designed,
RMS could do it. Alot of what is required in software is willpower to do
the work. RMS has such.
Though he once talked about how he felt needed, but not wanted. I wish
he could find a person that would supply what is missing; maybe his
friends could help? (Perhaps even international friends).
With linux-libre one is still beholden to the decisions of those in
control of the upstream linux project. In the past, during the 90s and

Hi,
IMO GNU Hurd is a good thing to have, btw at the moment Hurd architecture
isn't so good:
- it's a microkernel, isn't it? if so, why mach still contains drivers ...
why not to use a 3rd microkernel generation ... etc ...
- MIG ... it's an ugly thing
as I understood GNU hurd development
I agree with this. Even if it's not RMS, Hurd development has stalled and it
would be really nice if a few people got back to developing it. Like many of
the people in those threads, I fear the direction Linux is going in.
