Ok, whenever this word 'completion' crops up there is great deal of confusion as to what is complete.

That's correct. Which is why it's best to avoid it in a discussion about software.

Both Linux and Hurd are being actively developed, but Hurd is not complete in the same sense Linux is complete.

I see only gradual differences. And for a gradual difference it doesn't make sense to say "wait until ..."

Probably you can have a second look at the word 'Complete'.

I just took a second look. It seems half of the explanations there equate "complete" to "dead" if applied to software. So best avoid it.

Don't get me wrong, I don't love to pick on some minor language nits, but if you ask the question again without using words like "completed" or "finished", it will probably come up in a way that makes much more sense, and is much easier to answer in a meaningful way.
