Richard Stallman thinks work on HURD is unimportant and nothing more than an academic toy project. He is interested in the ethics and philosophy of software freedom, and the Linux kernel provides that when combined with adequate other completely free software. RMS has repeatedly said that he sees no real value in continuing the HURD project particularly and is much more interested in high priority things like free software replacements for Skype, free firmware, etc.
