Maybe "herd" is an actual tool, separate from Hurd? Or "and herd" here is equivalent to "et al?" Impossible to search for though.

- m463 6y agoHurd/Hird you mean :) In December 1991 the primary architect of the Hurd described the name as a mutually recursive acronym: It's time [to] explain the meaning of "Hurd". "Hurd" stands for "Hird of Unix-Replacing Daemons". And, then, "Hird" stands for "Hurd of Interfaces Representing Depth". We have here, to my knowledge, the first software to be named by a pair of mutually recursive acronyms. - Thomas (then Michael) Bushnell https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GNU_Hurd#Name_and_logo https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GNU_Hurd#Name_and_logo
