Unfortunately nothing really has happened in Arch Hurd since 2019 when 
the last round of packages were built.

In the years since I've looked a few times how to re-bootstrap 
everything due to the existing packages being built with an old fork of 
glibc which is not forward-compatible with newer glibc, so rebuilding 
everything from scratch is probably easier.

Apart from that the only work I put into it is keeping the 
website/wiki/etc online.

Nope.
