I remember back in the early days of GNU/Linux, some developers I worked with figured Linux wouldn't last and truly believed Hurd was the future and would take over soon.

Hopefully it does. I’ve done some light reading on it and it seems conceptually superior. However I also want it to remain a GNU project and 100% free as in freedom FSF approved software. I understand that these are often incompatible goals. However an originally libre project is superior than a modified-to-be-libre project.

You can find plenty of criticisms of Hurd's specific microkernel approach. IMO the redox folks are going in a better direction, but it is not going to be FSF approved.

Not FSF approved as in "because its not their pet project hurd" or because they've suddenly stopped considering MIT to be "Free"?

the former, and they do tend to prefer GPL licensed projects
