This makes me sad in three ways.

1. Hurd is still not here, yet.

2. With Duke Nukem Forever actually finished, and with Perl 6 looking like it might get finished this year, we kind of run out of good jokes to crack about the Hurd. What will be the next killer-app that will run on Hurd out of the box, once it's finished?

3. Unless I've been misinformed, there are multi-server microkernel systems out there that do work. So it's not like the Hurd was a totally misguided idea. And yet, it's still out there, like cold fusion, artificial intelligence and hypo-allergenic kittens, it's tantalizingly out of reach...

Well, one day
