It has had a real release, and the only reason that there haven't been other
releases after that is that the Hurd developers committed themselve to
release with Debian, if that is possible at all.

You don't know what I mean, so you could at least try to find out what I

Sure. I think it is pointless to have this discussion now. I see at least
two options to release Debian GNU/Hurd without firewall option even against

If you think that is what is happening here than you should perform a quick
reality check.

Uh, your advice is friendly and happily received. Do you mean that excludes
the right to disagree?
