One discussion that I feel we regularly have in person is that
regardless of the naming between Linux vs GNU/Linux, Linux itself *is*
just a kernel and none of us are really hacking on the kernel.  I'm not
sure about hacking on the Hurd itself but I would absolutely love to
see support for Guix System on the Hurd be at least as good as Guix
system on i686-linux.
