Later there was the news that they are also working on Ogg Theora/Vorbis support. Seems there are builds now for this support, too, so that's really more news!

Fortunately it looks like they later switched to using a proper encoder. Ahh.. growing pains. Re: Chrome. Are you sure that the latest chrome builds for windows do not include Ogg/Theora+Vorbis support? I've talked to several people who claim otherwise (and whom have been reporting in gaps and bugs in the support). It would be interesting to figure out what is going on there.

It is continuing improvements on the Theora encoder. libtheora1.1 alpha2 was released 6 days ago that contains some of the improvements that are part of the Thusnelda work. More improvements are in the pipeline. "Recommending use" is a very difficult decision to make and since it's indeed still called "alpha", you may not be willing to bet your horses on it. But from all the things I've seen on that codebase, I would certainly recommend moving forward with the innovation and improvements. Thusnelda is not a new codec.

AFAIK, Thusnelda is still in alpha stage and not yet "finished". Or do you have a statement? The Xiph community recommends the use of Thusnelda?
