That would be nice, but honestly I doubt it since they have been trying to release it for longer than I have been alive.

Anyway the Linux kernel is good enough, so the effort seems wasted.

Let's see, we have FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD, and Solaris. Two of them have even been integrated in current GNU systems (Debian/FreeBSD and Nexenta). How does yet another kernel help?

Hurd isn't stuck in the seventies and aims to do more than re-implement a 40-year-old design.

The irony of this remark is that while it is literally correct, the truth of the matter is that Hurd is stuck in the early 90s and aims to re-implement a 20-year-old design.

Or we all can just stick with Windows XP. Wouldn't it be great?
