### Easy
- Port debian packages to the Hurd -> currently mainly tinkerers, but also any other niche. In the long run this is necessary for every user. Easy start for devs.
-- Document easier access to low-level functions via translators, one function at a time.
-- get nsmux ready for regular users by setting it up in the LiveCDs by default.

### Complex
-- A filesystem-based package manager: Unionmounting packages. With filterfs from nsmux packages any user should be able to selectively disable any package without affecting the system of others. Simple active translators can add packages.
-- Enable subhurds for regular users via a subdo command: A framework for confining individual applications.
