Re: A Hurd release

[Alfred M. Szmidt]

   If someone is Hurd newbie and (s)he tries to use fakeroot for
   building Debian packages, what do you think that (s)he'll think
   about the Hurd?

What will the newbie think if she/head finds a totally obscure bug
that eats the file-system, or any other horrible thing?  I think that
you don't really have a point here.

Bugs exist, if a user finds them they should report them so that they
can be fixed.  Doesn't matter if it is a newbie, or a guru.

   a top-level file BUGS that lists major user-visible known bugs.

That is like "it is not a bug, it is a feature", known bugs should be
fixed before a release.
