I So? The w32 guys may argument the same way. You think that Hurd is the better POSIX OS, I think it is equivalent, but still having important structural problems that need to be fixed. > don't need to write a FAQ about that, it's already documented that if > a package doesn't build it's a grave bug. I refuse to thread arch-specific problems as RC bugs as long as this arch is not to be released with. > Yeah we know the Hurd is an unreleased architecture and the bts > doesn't understand that, that's why we file the bug as important > instead of grave. But that doesn't mean that the bug is wishlist, it's Your opinion. If the upstream cares about portability and has an own list of supported architectures, he should be involved! If a package does not appear on the list of supported systems, you do not have any right to request the "bug" to be fixed by Debian people. End-of-discussion. > still a grave bug.

I do not read debian-hurd mailing list, and I cannot remember any references of such docs on debian-devel. > And of course people reinvent the wheel. Do you know why?

Then modify the policy after having a consens. Unfortunately, this action has to wait till Woody has been released because of the current release strategy (I won't make any comments about it's pros/contras here). > If you look at portability and compatiblity, those 'linux people' are > just as worse as Microsoft, the company they hate so much.
