We won't be ready in 10 days. I do most of my work on a remote
machine, which has been down since Monday.
The remaining issues for me are:
1) Finish bootstrapping system
2) Build some .debs so that more people can get involved
3) Convince it to boot
4) Run a script that Roland gave me on it so that he can tweak the ABI
if necessary (And then possibly repeat steps 1-3, depending on
his response)
5) Setup apt archive
6) Invite as many developpers as possible to build packages so that we
replace every hurd-i386.deb file that currently exists in Debian.

Ouch. When you get to this point, would it be useful if you had a
remote machine to work from? I know you had said it wasn't worth it
before, since the changes were incremental but maybe it's something to
think about now...
