Actually I would prefer having a fix now to having a clean rewrite someday. Even better would be a set of small fixes which lead over many ever improved stable versions to a version which is similar to the one which we’d get with a clean rewrite :-) But a fix is no blocker to a rewrite. Rather the opposite: If the fix makes the Hurd more useful to people, then the chances of a really clean rewrite become bigger (I think). … Not that this approach worked for Linux, but there has to be an exception… ;-) Best wishes, Arne
