Seconded. If the Hurd was so useable that its developers could run off
it, a lot more issues would be fixed. -- I guess so, too.

Seconded. The Hurd is presently standing still in public knowledge --
alas, no people will join the movement.
In an attempt at making this mail longer than it has to be, I'll briefly
digest the community we're looking to integrate into:
- GNU-loving folks, who are mostly found in Debian
- Efficiency-loving folks, who will be found where performance is
optimal -- whether that is a question of eyecandy or filesystem-
stability.
Could we (I dare say ``we'') integrate more GNU-lovers, these people
will eventually lift the project to where the second group will join.
