"He who says it cannot be done should not interrupt he who is doing it"
chinese proverb (supposedly). Posted to kerneltrap.org during a similar
discussion.

Negative opinions about the Hurd are easy to form. Any user who has done
zero research can present such an opion. This takes no effort as the Hurd
developers are the first ones to point out it's short comings.

Actually reading and learning about the Hurd and it's architecture takes
a bit of time but I assure you it is well worth it. The design is brilliant.
Better than Linux, in theory at least.

Ten thousand irrelevant people saying "it will never be released/stable" is
not going to stop the developers from trying. I'll use it, and hopefully
help develope it some day.
