You can look at it that way, but the Hurd is completely different design 
wise from The Linux Kernel. It's not just meant to be a replacement at all. 
It's not 8 years behind Linux, because it's not following Linux, it's on a 
path of it's own. And BTW The whole reason GNU was started is so We could 
all have an OS of our own.
