Interesting... particularly in the context of prominent GNU maintainers stepping down.

Nice review. When Linux had got dynamically pluggable modules, that is long ago, HURD had lost its single advantage. Since it was equally possible not to make modules pluggable, Linux was more flexible and had, even theoretically, better performance. No wonder nobody wanted HURD, a solution in search for a problem.
 
The only real difference between Linux and HURD is that HURD makes it easier for everybody to be a kernel hacker - something the process of Linux kernel development have proven to be fatal. Mr. Stollman thought that loosely organized crowds can do everything and was wrong. Linux has one digit percent penetration on the desktop just because the quality bar for poorly organized crowds in not too high. Mr. Stallman thought that what looks like a better design actually is a better design and was wrong. An experimental proof is always necessary. Finally, Mr. Stallman wanted GNU/Linux revealing his zero understanding of the idea of a trade mark. Tools have no right to claim products, if he was blinded by his ideas enough not to see that, no wonder Linus provided developers with better toys.

The Register
There’s a kind of cognitive dissonance in most people who’ve moved from the academic study of computer science to a job as a real-world software developer. The conflict lies in the fact that, whereas nearly every sample program in every textbook is a perfect and well-thought-out specimen, virtually no software out in the wild is, and this is rarely acknowledged.

Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?
