I am not saying that the hurd-i386 port shouldn't be moved to ports (see the report I made on https://lists.debian.org/debian-hurd/2018/09/msg00000.html , my only potential concern was with the workload of debian-ports). I am only saying that this is really a bad timing. > Nothing will stop you from releasing a hurd buster release using > ports. Time will. I will have time later, but that'll be after the Buster release, i.e. a *way* less coherent set of packages since a flurry of package updates will happen, thus less usable, if installable at all. The only alternative I have is to make the release now with the RC bugs. Samuel
