+Remember that what counts is years.people, not just years, so it
+can't be compared to e.g. Linux or BSD development so trivially. See
+[[how_many_developers|how many developers]] are working on the Hurd, it is
+actually impressive that so much has been done in the past couple of decades
+with so few people.
