Yes, I look forward to it. One of the things I like the most about
the Hurd is that it's so modular. I just hate having to recompile the
Linux kernel all the time. I'd say having a stable microkernel and
just adding user space programs (Debian packages) would be much nicer.
The Hurd still lacks quite a bit, in my opinion, but the port to L4
and relocation of all drivers to user space will solve much of that.

That was the point of the joke. (It wasn't very good, though.)
