The need for F/OSS operating systems (kernel and related tools) is as great as it was in the 1980s.

The significance of the GNU project in meeting that need is less than it was in the 1980s.

The GNU project is still significant, if less so overall, but HURD is the least important element since Linux-libre works fine.
