-Exercise: Make some modification to the name lookup mechanism. (More specific
-suggestions welcome... :-) )
+Exercise: This project requires changes to the name lookup mechanism in the
+Hurd-related glibc parts, as well as the Hurd servers. Thus, the exercise task
+should involve hacking glibc or Hurd servers, or even both. Fixing the bug in
+the client-side nfs translator (/hurd/nfs) that makes "rmdir foo/" fail while
+"rmdir foo" works, seems a good candidate.
