The s390 porting team can perfectly well do what the hurd-i386 porting
team does: build them themselves.  I mean, umm, you don't have to be
hooked into w-b to upload packages.

If the s390 team is unhappy with w-b, they can simply set up their own
autobuilding and do it themselves; all the software is free software.

There are probably other solutions too; I find incoherent the concept
of an "idle refusal".
