Fortunately not: the code exists, there is still work going on (for instance as part of Google Summer of Code), and there are even some relatively functional Hurd distributions. Let's look first at the code and the current architecture, and then at the Hurd distributions.

Break your Ubuntu Addiction: Three Strong Distros

On-demand package installation in openSUSE 11.3
http://www.kdedevelopers.org –
