We (the Hurd) actually might have... But haven't ultimately decided yet.
Will make sure to let you know off-list some time before the
deduplication meeting.

Also relevant in this context is the question, whether we (the GNU
umbrella) actually want all these slots?... After looking through the
list of all positively scored applications, there are at least two
currently "pending acceptance" that IMHO shouldn't get in (for various
reasons).

Google was very generous to us this year -- we shouldn't abuse that,
giving slots to questionable projects just because we can...
