Thanks for the pointer. The bug was posted in March, 2004, when the
project was "rapidly maturing". For i386-hurd, we got it in sid
*right away*. My advice (which I admit is pointless now) is to get
new ports into sid *right away*, as soon as you have a real
autobuilder or even just a dozen base packages.
That's way too late to ask for adding it to sid.

That doesn't seem to me like it warrants a GR. Among other things,
the technical committee should be the first line of discussion, and I
would rather have the technical committee take this up and make a
decision. It seems that all the relevant issues are technical, and
that's the group we have to settle such things.
It doesn't belong on debian-vote.
