But it's an enormous psychological difference whether you tell people "you can set up transparent FTP on the Hurd, if you find the magic incantation somewhere on the net", or "Debian GNU/Hurd comes with transparent FTP". I'll take any bet that setting up ftpfs automatically on installation would triple usage of that feature at least. It's the difference between an obscure feature hardly anybody will bother with, and something that might actually attract some people. I wonder what it would take to get this into Debian as default... -antrik-
