I think Moritz's point is that the project should get to the point
where it is perceived as ok for the non-linux ports to lose things
like gnome once it entirely depends on linux-only features (lots of
alternative desktops xfce, lxde, etc. still of course remain).  To
make that ok, the % build requirement for kfreebsd/hurd will probably
need to be reduced.


Best wishes,
