look at it this way. most people have never hurd of hurd, and it's 
sufficiently unpleasant-sounding that nobody much will go to any 
trouble to find out about it. on the other hand, it's one of those 
things like esperanto support -- those who care about it are better 
off doing it rather than making messes elsewhere.
