Please allow me to add something. I'm relatively new to the GNU Hurd project, so i don't know a lot of things that are technical in nature or otherwise (eg Szmidt's history).
However, i do know one thing. All Hurd needs to survive is a community of people that actually care for Hurd to survive. Since i have approached the Hurd community, i have only seen a handful of people actually trying to keep this community alive by being involved or by encouraging others to get involved. These people are not the janitors of Hurd, they don't just maintain it, they keep it alive and try to make it evolve the best way they can. It's a dirty job that very few persons can actually do. Let's try to remember that all those involved with the Hurd are not professionals. They don't get payed by doing all this. They devote their free time for something they think it's worth doing at the expense of something else they could be doing. We should respect the effort these few people have put in this project. Although nobody can demand respect, i think these people have earned it.
