The other day, I told a fellow GNU-user about the Hurd development situation: Some guy would pop out with a suggestion or some over-all friendly email. ams would then reply in a manner that made the unsure poster go defensive, effectively ending the potential progress of the suggestion. I also said that it was a seemingly recurring event. He then said, that is was a shame. We would both like to see the Hurd up and running fast, and recognize the value of having (excuse the marketing term) team-players doing it. After all, the community ought to have an integrated central developer core, should the Hurd get big. tschwinge has my support in his demands, too.
