I heard that on #hurdfr I think (the “nightmare” of pipes and the fact
GNU Hurd would be forced to follow POSIX, also that I remember having
seen braurn doing a minifork of Hurd to experiment features without
following POSIX, I don’t remember the name but it looked like a proper
name…), I’d need maybe to ask again, except if those who said that (or
something approaching that that I could have misunderstood) is present
on this mailing-list.
