c) Most early microkernels seem to have been monolithic systems, unlike
Hurd.
The other point is that it may eventually make sense to throw away the
code and create something fresher.

Howe's Law:

would be
"symbiotic" with Hurd, but one of the interesting side-effects I forsee
out of the Debian/Hurd effort is that of making Debian less dependent on
OS details, which thereby may make it easier to add further OSes to the
"Debian List."

uot; Thus being a "GNU system" does not
necessarily require Hurd's involvement. Furthermore, for a while yet, it is
unlikely that the use of Hurd will be so widespread as to allow people to
*assume* that because a system is "GNU" that it must be using Hurd. It is
thus usefu
software projects out there, these are quite legitimate
questions.)
You might want to "steal some material" from:

for free software development to substantially differ), and on the other
