Who mentioned wanting that? (Note that there are other ways than programming to help develop, of course, like contributing documentation or reporting bugs.)

This is what started the whole discussion...

Are you joking? This is what started the whole discussion: Sadly, the conclusion of the article (that GNU/Hurd is for "for developers who want to dig deeper into system development") dismisses this aspect. IMNSHO conclusion is quite correct: HURD is not ready for "normal geeks" (let alone "normal users"). Right now it's only useful for someone who believes in it and wants to help development.

No, I wasn't joking. Thanks for explaining.
If you had said "Though that might be its goal, I don't believe the hurd gives users and programs even close to as much control over their computing environment as possible today", I don't think anyone would have disagreed.
