Hi Rainer,

I believe your conspiracy theory is not too far from reality,
indeed. As a matter of fact, the support for the FreeBSD port has
never been official, and to the best of my knowledge Debian GNU/Hurd
is practically a frozen project. Hence, it will be very easy for the
TC to get rid of both "ports".
