+For one month now, the pthread implementation by Neal Walfield is part
+of the Hurd CVS source tree, and has been used to compile more
+software for the Debian GNU/Hurd archive. The lack of a POSIX
+compatible thread library (the Hurd was based on the cthread
+implementation that originally accompanied Mach) was a show stopper,
+and we are happy about the possibility to not only compile more
+applications, but also to start the work on migrating the Hurd source
+code to pthreads.
