Time to jump in with Marcus' "boss" hat on. The idea of the Maintenance Points is more like a tip you give to the developers with the expectation that they will continue their work in a way which satisfies you and others. This Hurd thing is of course a bit special; as a rule of thumb I'd say 2.5 points (25 USD) are worth an hour of Hurd work; we donate any difference to our actual cost. Obviously there must be some limit because the other projects also require the attention of our hackers and, beeing a small company, we have to keep our extra donation within a reasonable limit. If it turns out that too many Points for Hurd are ordered, we will consider to hire a hacker for the requested Hurd sub-projects and adjust the point/time mapping to a reasonable value.
