-Here is the only list I am aware of that shows the status of the "imminent" conversion to [[OskitMach]] for the whole Debian GNU/Hurd project. These are only the "show stopper" problems, ones that are serious enough to prevent the transition from taking place.
+The only thing that is needed before we will switch to the OSKit-Mach variant of GNU Mach is the missing console: OSKit-Mach has no console in the kernel, so we need an implementation in userspace. Marcus Brinkmann is writing a console implementation with a client-server design, Unicode support and lots of other goodies. The server is working, the ncurses client is working (which is useful for testing and results in something similar to screen) and the VGA client is the one missing component. A part of the code for it already exists; it will share some code with the ncurses client via a console-client library. After it works, some testing of OSKit-Mach will also be needed.
-* console (in progress - marcus)
-
-* posix threads, pthreads (in progress - jeroen)
-
-* shared memory
-
-* posix record locking
-
-* semaphores

-* other bugs (see the [bug-hurd archives](http://mail.gnu.org/pipermail/bug-hurd/), [gnumach](http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?pkg=gnumach), [oskit](http://packages.debian.org/oskit) and [hurd](http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?pkg=hurd) for detailed information)
