   I can't tell anymore what you are asking.  Maybe take a step back,
   and ask the question once more.  Don't ask vague questions like
   "what is the Hurd"; don't ask questions about what you should work
   on.

What is the Hurd is a concrete question, you have three choices,
Hurd/Mach, Hurd/L4 or Hurd/something-else.  I am not asking what I
should work on, I have repeated this on several ocassions now, I'm
asking what the direction of the Hurd project is.  There is nothing
vauge about it.  You are just trying to evade the question.
