RMS is no longer a big name, regardless of what he might wish. GNU has done loads of great work over the years, but sooner or later Stallman has to accept that he's not got the kernel. It's not his, and GNU won't be putting out Hurd. He's done a lot, but it's time for him to take a back seat.

Comon guys! Someone is getting slow.

I guess we need to get some of those Jedi Knights from the UK to use the force to help us find storys faster.
