That's what I was implying. With All the differences of the HURD, plus all the features that are still needed for it to be able to compete with Linux, it would make it very difficult and counter productive to write a clone, and that time and effort would be most useful hacking in the HURD repo. Oh and by the way, I'm wondering if you still use the Lemote computer as your main device? Because there are pictures of you using gluglug X60 on the internet, though your bio still says you use a lemote.
