   Really?  That's not the feeling that I had:
   http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/l4-hurd/2005-10/msg00094.html .

This is what I wrote:

  My interest in the Hurd has never diminished.  My interest in
  Hurd/L4 has never existed.

Interest does not exclude excitement, Hurd/L4 does not exclude L4, the
Hurd does not exclude Hurd/L4 if Hurd/L4 is the main goal since then
`Hurd == Hurd/L4'.
