   @jpm @eschwartz @ariadne @hatzka @albertcardona That could be fixed by getting filesystems out of the kernel...

     I'm not really following Hurd mostly. But I heard the same rumor. The person who told it to me said that when he went looking to confirm the rumor he discovered an unmerged patch series that had received no objections, in large part because it hadn't received much notice at all.

     I was told that it's therefore a reason to be cautious but "panicking is premature".

     No idea what's happened since then. Portage can theoretically support many kernels if wanted...

     @eschwartz @ariadne @hatzka @albertcardona there’s really no escape, and this is why I’m so disillusioned in the entire IT industry. Even FreeBSD has slop in kernel (thanks to OpenZFS)

     @ariadne @eschwartz @hatzka @albertcardona I’ve also heard some mumbling (but do not have an independent source) that the most of the Hurd x64 port was extruded from a slop machine.
