It isn't finished (that means: In a state to be released), because there are 
still some missing pieces. 

For example it doesn't yet have a sound device, and it isn't trivial to run X 
on it. 

But it can already be used as production system - as long as you don't need 
the missing pieces. And the core functionality works (translators). Please 
keep up-to-date backups, though.

Besides: This years Google Summer of Code brought the Hurd five big steps 
forward:

If you want to help getting the Hurd into releasable state, you're very 
welcome! 

Best wishes, 
Arne
