* On amd64, fix memcpy (> 16 bytes) from `/dev/mem` (makes hurd-console crash)
* Settle CI for mig+gnumach+hurd+glibc.
* Port `dhcpcd`, see [call for help](https://lists.debian.org/debian-hurd/2023/11/msg00030.html)
-* Extensively test (e.g. running testsuites of glibc, perl, curl) and fix the lwip-based TCP/IP stack, to be sure we don't get regressions by switching to it.
+* Extensively test (e.g. running testsuites of glibc, perl, curl, rust-mio) and fix the lwip-based TCP/IP stack, to be sure we don't get regressions by switching to it.
* Fix swapping with `rumpdisk`.
* Prevent duplicate instances of `rumpdisk` from competing for the disk PCI cards (e.g. when a second one gets started from a chroot).
* Fix the memory consumption of `rumpdisk`.
+* Add overcommit limitation support to gnumach: limit the virtual size of processes to half of the memory + swap size.
* Integrate `rumpusbdisk` with the rest of the disk translators etc.
* Fix `tmpfs` losing files, see [discussion](https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-hurd/2015-02/msg00091.html).
* Port `libasan`/`lsan`/`ubsan`/`libtasn` so we can use these sanitizers (youpi did some of it, pending clean/submit).
