Your use of the phrase "the system" seems to imply that only one
system is being discussed. Are you assuming that a system containing
the Linux kernel (often referred to as GNU/Linux) and a similar system
containing the Hurd kernel are the same system, which should be
referred to as GNU? Are you arguing that the name "GNU/Linux" is
incorrect, and that the system to which that name is commonly applied
should instead be called "GNU"?
