I agree we should follow Linux *iff* doing so is feasible. Apart from
that I haven't put enough time into details to really have a founded
opinion there
=> (6=4) 5 (1=2=3)

I'm the tech-ctte will even consider deciding anything for !linux
without a really good reason. As long as we (the kfreebsd people) and
the hurd people each find something that works for us we should be
fine. The only thing from the tech-ctte / GR discussions that might
affect us is, if the project decides to drop support for some init
system.
