Hm... Didn't we have this discussion before?... ;-)
Your images are still the most common installation method. While
crosshurd works in some cases, it often has problems; and it's not
applicable in many situations at all. Same for pre-built qemu images.
I'm not sure why you think your images are less useful now than they
were ten years ago?...
Note that considerable effort is being put into making Debian-Installer
work on the Hurd. That alone should serve as sufficient proof that
installation media are considered as important as ever :-)
