I'm not going to start telling people to stop work on some other project. Really, work on what *you* think is valuable. I cannot tell you what you will think is valuable. I have already said that *I* think that the Hurd was a good attempt, but that my own primary interests in OS design now lie elsewhere. Each of us has our own *different* views, and I have nothing against offering what support I can to those who wish to work on it. But I'm not going to guess about something I simply don't know. This is a lot more like a researcher asking "which experiment should I do" and I'm saying, "we just don't know until we start doing them." _______________________________________________ Bug-hurd mailing list Bug-hurd@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-hurd
