If you mean the suggestion: defining the goals to cut away design
options, and then define interfaces, then I totally agree.
The problem is that you have poked into a hornet nest with raising the
question: "What is the goal of the Hurd?" From just a preliminary
survey it turns out that: You get as many different answers as people
you ask, and second: That some of the goals may be incompatible.
Also, sometimes the wrong goals are stated due to lack of
understanding of the issues.
This is why I believe we first must have at least some understanding
in the consequences of the various goals that can be defined. Your
input has been tremendously helpful in this regard, IMHO.
I am really very concerned with this question at this very moment, and
trying to find a good answer. I don't want to give this a rushed
response. I am also looking for input from anybody whom it may
concern.
Thanks,
Marcus
