I won't agree with your conclusion. Upstream decided to add a feature to split OSes between supported and unsupported, and we're about to revert that in Debian for one of the unsupported OSes. But I for one wasn't aware of your work getting fixes upstream so that's really good to know ! As I understand it if someone stepped up to add a CI pipeline upstream for Hurd there are good chances that the patch would get accepted. And I'm still supportive of the change in Debian anyway as I already wrote. If all goes well the change will land in Frameworks 5.98 which should reach in Debian in a not too distant future. :-) Happy hacking ! -- Aurélien
