Will the GNU hurd kernel replace the Linux kernel once it is finished, or has production it stopped?

No not at this time due to longer development cycle

I mean, when it is done. Is it eventually going to replace Linux?

No will not replace Linux as Linus has stated not moving to a non monolithic kernel any time soon.

I doubt the Linux kernel will ever be replaced by anything other than a new version. Hurd has been around a long time but is nowhere near the level of acceptance or technological ability that the Linux kernel is.

There's been a lot more time and money invested in the Linux Kernel than that of Hurd and I can't see that changing anytime soon. There's too many software, drivers, and utilities written for Linux now to port that all over to a Hurd kernel.
