As simple Debian users, we indeed do not mind about portability

Debian KFreeBSD.
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
long as it remains a release architecture for jessie. Quite
separately
from the init discussion, I believe some of my fellow developers have
concerns regarding its readiness (and did so for wheezy too).
But, indeed, almost nobody mind about that, because linux is
probably the most used kernel in free software world, and not with a
small difference. Linux is like the windows of free software world
(in term of adoption, not about other aspects).
Yes, in Debian the amd64 variant of the Linux kernel is more popular
than the two KFreeBSD variants combined by a very large margin.
