I would indeed love to see some of architectures copy hurd-i386 in this regard. However, I am afraid, we are not going to accept Hurd as a technology preview as we intend to remove the notation of "technology preview" in Jessie. Technology previews have not quite worked as we had hoped; adding another one is unlikely to solve that problem. ~Niels -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
