+As a sidenote, we would like to share a story about real-life debugging with the Hurd:
 
-(bug hurd done till 2011-11 (inclusive))
+    <youpi> yay GNU/Hurd
+    <youpi> I have added i_translator check in e2fsck, it was missing
+    <youpi> I had a volume that was keeping making ext2fs crash
+    <youpi> with a reproductible scenario
+    <youpi> could easily work out it was i_translator, then add a check to e2fsck, run it, which indeed fixed, them, and voilà, ext2fs was working again
+    <youpi> all that on the same machine with *no* system reboot
+    <youpi> just ext2fs restart :)
