Debian Hurd is not a release architecture so the project is not hobbled
by its requirements (yet). That's certainly the case for KFreeBSD, so

from the init discussion, I believe some of my fellow developers have
concerns regarding its readiness (and did so for wheezy too).

Yes, in Debian the amd64 variant of the Linux kernel is more popular
than the two KFreeBSD variants combined by a very large margin.
