I really see zero value in accomodating something like Hurd which has
effectively disengaged by living out of the mainline for so long.
If I were not actively staying on top of Sparc stuff, I absolutely
would expect and understand it if changes would just steamroll through
without taking sparc testing and "unknown potential future sparc work"
into account.
That's just life and the realities of a volunteer project.
