The idea here is to develop a suitable GNU packaging system in
parallel with the necessary work on the Hurd.
And other GNU projects of course.
2. Are we dumping /usr?
(By "dumping" do you mean "eliminating"?) I don't think so. Why
would we do that?
Because /usr isn't needed, but the complete removal of it can wait and
we can have a symbolic link for the time being.
3. What init system (does that even make sense?)
I presume we will still need demons, since nobody has proposed any
better idea to replace them. Therefore we still need a system to
stop and start them.
We already have a system to do this, it is called dmd (which isn't a
GNU project, but that is easy to fix since there is only one copyright
holder right now).
(If you want to know more about dmd, I'll happily explain it)
I believe there is a GNU package that provides a convenient
interface to starting and stopping demons,
I don't know of any GNU package that does this, and I checked the Free
Software Directory to be sure. Maybe you confused it with dmd?
