> You are trying to "sell" HURD to someone other then "developers who want to dig deeper into system development".

Ooops, no, as civodul explained, there's a misunderstanding here. We are not targeting end users yet. We target at providing more power to end users. And now that Debian GNU/Hurd is quite easy to install, we welcome developers who want to help in that direction.

Also, we don't really aim at replacing Linux. Linux is "good enough", indeed, and does it well. The Hurd simply wants to try to be yet better in some aspects, which we have already explained.
