I think that you are right to be suspicious.

ObGrumble:
The author of this chart makes the typical mistake of
confusing the kernels with operating systems. We see no mention
of GNU, sadly. IIRC, GNU-0.0 was released at the same time as
the first HURD release (0.0). I tried to find the message from
Thomas Bushnell announcing 0.0 (it must have been between march
and september 1996), but I think I mislaid it. Argh! If someone
has a copy, please forward me a copy, I'd like it for nostalgic
reasons.
Cheers,
Paul.
