The "75% of Debian archive builds" claim is exactly the same 7 years ago. In fact, look at this slide from the 2019 presentation: https://archive.fosdem.org/2019/schedule/event/roadmap_for_the_hurd/attachments/slides/3270/export/events/attachments/roadmap_for_the_hurd/slides/3270/2019_02_01_fosdem_roadmap.pdf#page=8 https://archive.fosdem.org/2019/schedule/event/roadmap_for_t...

It is barely distinguishable from the first slide featured in the Phoronix article from today: https://www.phoronix.net/image.php?id=2026&image=gnu_hurd_1 https://www.phoronix.net/image.php?id=2026&image=gnu_hurd_1 It seems like there has been progress on other fronts, so I'm not sure why Phoronix ran a headline focused on very old news.
Interestingly, the 2018 version of the slide claims "80% of Debian archive builds"; I wonder what caused the regression. https://archive.fosdem.org/2018/schedule/event/microkernel_hurd_pci_arbiter/attachments/slides/2323/export/events/attachments/microkernel_hurd_pci_arbiter/slides/2323/2018_02_03_fosdem_pci.pdf#page=26 https://archive.fosdem.org/2018/schedule/event/microkernel_h...
