Re: RMS: users request you perhaps program HURD: they fear the path the linux kernel is going.

To be precise, GNU Shepherd is the continuation of an old init software 
originally called GNU DMD, written in Scheme, that was intended to provide 
init system to the Hurd before Guix and systemd existed (and happened to 
already provide some of the best features of systemd (like dependency 
graph, parallelism, etc.)

But actually, even related to the Hurd, Shepherd is a better name, and it 
is very cool the development was resumed.  That’s a very good thing Guix 
people did, whatever are the issues of their software distribution / 
package manager.
