I explained that the Hurd has initial 64-bit support, but I 
did not mention if the project plans to drop 32-bit
support.  Joshua

-There are currently no plan for 64-bit userland for the short term, but there
-are plans for 64-bit kernelland with 32-bit userland, which will notably permit
-to efficiently make use of more than 2 GiB memory and provide 4 GiB userland
-addressing space. The kernel support was merged into GNU Mach, the currently
-missing bit is the 32/64 mig translation for kernel RPCs.
+As of May 2023, the Hurd developers have a bootable 64-bit Debian
+GNU/Hurd.  The 64 bit kernel and userspace is mostly working, but bugs
+still need to be fixed.
 
-That being said, you can always run a 32-bit version on a 64-bit machine, it
-just works, processes are just limited to a couple GiB available memory.
