I think both issues, not accepting to declare GNU GNU/Guix as the
official GNU System and Hurd not progressing as much as it could, have
the same source: a certain bureaucracy which hierarchize importance of
interdependent chaotic things (how can you say “a thing A is more
important than an other thing B, therefore we have to put more effort on
A than B”, if B can influence A, more than A can influence B, and this
applied to a really complex development ecosystem?) and forcing Hurd to
follow and implement POSIX and other depassed standards.
