Giving all these people additional options means zip (at least from the view
of society in general), if they never find the Hurd.
And the learning curve of the Hurd - including closing in on its internal

ve from the 90% to the 10%, and
from the 10% to the handful -- but an equally important part is to
increase the pool in the first place. You can't get and keep core
developers, without making the project more interesting and welcoming in
general.
I agree that the learning curve discussion is

I spent some time thinking whether to send this reply to the list or only to
Olaf, but I decided to send it to the list, because the learning curve also

And Feynman really manages to make physics sound as fascinating as it is,
while keeping it easy to understand).
To organize learning that way makes for a very efficient learning curve.
