Or maybe that, yes. It was probably a message by me, so it must be right :)

I am so sorry.

It is well known what we need to do: Add proper drivers to OSKit and bring
GNU Mach 2 into shape. That's why I wrote the console client (this effort
has its root in November last year). So, we are making progress and heading
toward using OSKit v2, although quite a bit delayed :)
And it wil be delayed even further, as I will be on the road soon for the
whole of october. We have quite a few people who already compiled and
worked a bit on the OSKit version of Mach, maybe I will have a good surprise
when I come back, hint, hint ;)

I wonder if Neal didn't have it in a README in the um-pppd package, too.
