Going by my experience to date I would suggest independent releases with
different release managers. IMHO, this would make life a lot easier.
1. 0.1 could be released for the Hurd and *BSD and not compromise the
high standard of the GNU/Linux releases.
2. The release manager could be someone familiar with the particular
platform.
3. This would not add complications to the overworked GNU/Linux release
manager.
Once we know that the Hurd and BSDs are up to standard and problems
associated with their release have been solved, then the policy can be
reviewed.
BTW, different release dates as well for the sake of the ftp people.
