    Shouldn't the HURD also be renamed, then?  That hird of daemons only
    replaces the kernel, not Unix.

I never noticed before.  (The name HURD is not my doing--I wanted to
call the kernel Alix.)  Strictly speaking, that name is not correct.
It is possible that the expansion of the name HURD contributes subtly
and indirectly to the misunderstanding that does us so much harm.

It would be rather painful to change the name "HURD" now.  By
contrast, it would be easy to change the README that comes with Linux.
