I'm not going to start telling people to stop work on some other
project. Really, work on what *you* think is valuable. I cannot tell
you what you will think is valuable.
I have already said that *I* think that the Hurd was a good attempt,
but that my own primary interests in OS design now lie elsewhere.
Each of us has our own *different* views, and I have nothing against
offering what support I can to those who wish to work on it. But I'm
not going to guess about something I simply don't know.
This is a lot more like a researcher asking "which experiment should I
do" and I'm saying, "we just don't know until we start doing them."
