I apologize. You are entirely correct.

However, it appears to me that the future of Hurd lies with l4-hurd.
Arhcitectural changes are happening in Hurd, and as this occurs the
exisiting Hurd system will become progressively less important.

As an outsider, I do not hear people talking about "original hurd" much.
Perhaps I am listening in the wrong places. The successor has a good
chance at greater impact.
