  That's not provocative (at least for me). I agree with you. But the
part "most of us already know too much of the Hurd source code" is
wrong. IMO, most of you know little about Hurd, because you haven't be
involved in the core development in reality.

  However, it is not a bad thing that you don't know much about
something at the moment. You just need to study it.
