Assuming it's not too late already, do you think the patches to split
the startup server from the init process could make it into this
release?

The ability to easily swap out the init program would be a good
selling point for the release, in my opinion.  I've been using the
patches to run GNU dmd as PID 1, and it seems to be working nicely.
The only issue so far is that the changes call
/etc/hurd/runsystem.hurd by default, and that file isn't getting
installed.

Thanks.
