Yes. But Marcus has worked very hard on this, and none of us wish to displace him. Marcus is trying to satisfy a dream that he cannot (yet) fully articulate. The visible portions of that dream appeals to many people here. One reason that I have *not* volunteered to act as a HURD maintainer is that my dreams are different. Unfortunately, Marcus is suffering from insufficient time, and this impedes progress. At some point, progress must become more important than serving a dream that is not yet articulated. If not, then the dream becomes an end in itself. It may still be beautiful, but we will not produce a system that way. shap _______________________________________________ L4-hurd mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/l4-hurd
