+    <bwright> Just read a paper on hurd.
+    <bwright> Some interesting dot-dot and chroot issues were raised.
+    <bwright> But this was written my guess is in about 2007.

+    <antrik> bwright: both the dot-dot and chroot issues are fairly easy to
+      solve... of course they do indicate some more fundamental things to keep
+      in mind though. in fact, a few years ago we came up with a concept for
+      making filesystem permission handling more robust... but nobody ever got
+      to implementing it :-(
+    <antrik> bwright: this paper, I guess you are referring to the "critique"?
+      it was in fact written by the Hurd/L4 initiators. the observations made
+      in this paper are right, but IMHO they got carried away on the
+      conclusions -- most of the issues can be solved within the existing
+      framework, if you think about the actual problems seriously
+    <azeem> so they didn't think about it seriously?
+    <antrik> azeem: not in the right mindset I'd say :-)
+    <antrik> macrus actually said himself a while later that he probably
+      could/should have implemented some of the ideas within the existing
+      Hurd...
