FB: What is the status of Hurd development?

RMS: The Hurd runs, but not reliably. The developers are working on it
slowly now, although one is arranging to get funds to work on it a
substantial fraction of his time. The developers have concluded that
Mach is unreliable as a microkernel and that they need to transplant
the Hurd to L4 instead. But this requires substantial rewrites.

JA: The GNU Hurd has been under development for over a decade. There
was talk of a 1.0 release over a year ago, but this was delayed due to
a couple of lacking features. What is the current status of this
project?

Richard Stallman: The Hurd runs, and missing features are gradually
being added. However, for practical use today, you would use a
Linux-based version of GNU.


JA: Do you have any predictions as to when we're going to see a 1.0
release?

Richard Stallman: No, I'm afraid I don't, I'm sad to say. A lot of the
Hurd developers seem to have decided that they should re-write it to
work with a different micro-kernel (L4). I was disappointed to hear
this, but now it looks like it will be some more years before the Hurd
is usable.
