Well, prior to this release I would have said "there is no point", but it looks like Hurd has finally gotten rid of some of the major warts I remember when I first took at look at it over a decade ago.

A lot of software fails to build on Hurd because it makes (often dangerously) false assumptions that the software really needs to think about properly. `PATH_MAX` is the most visible one, but others exist as well.

(By contrast, I have found that software that fails on one of the BSDs is often failing because the particular OS completely lacks some essential feature, or at least lacks a stable API/ABI thereto.)

So what would you say its point is now?
