Thomas Bushnell is no longer Hurd maintainer
I'm not likely to ask for the mans autograph if i see him but he's done some good stuff for free software and has _maintained_ what he has done. GNU could have been set up and then flopped because he couldn't be bothered anymore. The GPL is still being used even now. That means that what he _did_ is still happening today. I don't, however, like the way he mixes a purely political message with the software. Extream views can destroy good ideas and the FSF and GNU _have_ good ideas.
