No, it was not "announced".  Rather, development began.  Most
companies don't "announce" things until they are released or about to
be; the FSF does the same thing, though we do often explain
plans--something companies never do.

      Well, the years have passed by, and the Hurd is more vaporware like then
   any announcement from the Evil Empire in Redmond.  In the mean time, two
   important developments have occured.  First, linux has taken the world by
   storm.  By all accounts, there are 1,000,000 of them.  Second, OSF is
   making OSF/1, including its microkernel and a full xpg3 Unix subsystem
   available in source code, under an free, unrestricted license.

Well, it does in fact run.  Several volunteers have run our binary
snapshots with no difficulty.  Progress is being made all the time.

      It seems to be that time has passed by the Hurd.  No one cares, and
   no one will use it if it ever becomes real.  I think that is time to
   kill its development and move on to better things.

You post this roughly every month.  Isn't it time to stop?  Your
errors have been corrected each time.  Do you not bother to pay
attention?
