OK, thanks, I've learned something new, GNU Hurd has the edge over ReactOS by eight years. :-)

At least Hurd is making better progress than TempleOS these days.

I would say that TempleOS was complete considering Terry's goals.

It's surprisingly hard to query for "graph intersection between earliest first release date and most recent release date" :(

I think the parent’s point was that Hurd is still unfinished. All of the others in your list shipped releases that met their intended goals in a much more compact timeframe.

edit: clarification

"gestation period" != age
