Alfred, can you show the document that their plan is now
making "Debian GNU/Linux"?

If I understood from the thread, Alfred, you wrote:
  I also know that you cannot mean the GNU system, since
  "we" consists of less people then there are people 
  hacking on the Hurd right now.
Then Phillip said:
  "What do you mean?"
He didn't understand what you mean in that sentence.
(Neither am I, BTW.)
Then you said
  "Sorry, I don't understand"
That makes Phillip (and I for that matter) confused.
Thus, the five question marks.

Let's try again. What do you mean with this:
  I also know that you cannot mean the GNU system, since
  "we" consists of less people then there are people 
  hacking on the Hurd right now.


PS: calm down people...
