I think you’re right, yes.

Is this correct? (note: Vicente, not Vincente - did I get that right?)

At the end of the last 2 quarters, Samuel Thibault pushed the [pthread 
patches](http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-hurd/2012-11/msg00088.html) from 
Vicente Hernando Ara, Barry de Frese, Thomas Schwinge, Richard Braun and Samuel 
and others to the different upstream packages, finally enabling modern pthreads 
for the Hurd, which makes it possible to implement full Hurd bindings for 
languages which require pthreads, so for example 
[PyHurd](http://savannah.nongnu.org/projects/pyhurd/) can profit from the Hurd 
libraries instead of having to rely on low-level Mach bindings to implement 
Hurd features like translators. 

Best wishes,
Arne
