It is years to early for this particular flame war to start :-) Although
I'm sure it will be popular some time next century..
Let's not worry about that now. For now, those who are interested and have
the time, assist, in the spirit of open software.
Clearly, no change of debian's direction has been asked for yet - and no one
would expect debian to change direction for the Hurd's benefit without a
full debate on the mailing lists.
For now, I plan merely to watch the HURD's development with interest. And
maybe contribution.
