Maybe I just became too cynical by lingering on the internet too much. I've seen very vocal members of the "community" (which I'd rather divide in two: people who actually behave as a community and does stuff, and assholes that demand stuff but aren't willing to do anything) being a bunch of shitheads towards actual developers, company sponsored and individuals alike.

If we talk about communities, we should be worried about the fact most of those longer support cycles offered by the community are actually the effort of a single individual instead of, you know, a group of people, which is what conforms a community. Again, maybe I'm just biased and bitter, but it is what it is.

Regarding GNU Hurd, I don't expect that to be a replacement for Linux ever. It'll probably remain a project testing interesting ideas, but never to be ready for the general public. I'm not skeptic that something else will replace it at some point, tho. Software always has its cycles and all software eventually grows to find some fundamental assumption about the world stops being true and needs a whole replacement.

People supporting N64 is not helping fix that in particular, but some hardware and commercial distro companies are. Again, I don't intend to shit on whoever supports N64, it's neat, but if the premise is "Intel is leeching of them", well, not really, and if I had to choose what either gives me, one gives me what I need and the other doesn't.
