This is strictly an internal GNU struggle, and has no relevance at all on anything except how GNU is organized and what it means to be a GNU maintainer. In particular, Thomas did _not_ get "dismissed from the HURD project" [sic], nor is it true that "Thomas leaves HURD" [sic]. I am not going to comment further on any of this, because it is based on leaked material from a private mailing list (which I am following) that should not have found its way into the "news media" (ha ha), and I would have to violate this privacy if I were to substantiate my refute. Just take my word for it if you can. That aside, there is surely room and need for discussion, for example if and when the GFDL is a good license, what GNU maintainers should and should not be and how GNU itself is organized. But nothing of this is of singular relevance to the Hurd at all, because it applies to all GNU packages equally. This is something that can and is discussed inside and outside of GNU, and everyone can participate in that discussion in the appropriate forum. Thanks, Marcus -- `Rhubarb is no Egyptian god.'
