The name GNU/Hurd is clear, convenient, and a proper name for the
system--sez me, sez RMS, sez just about everyone else.
Sometimes we say GNU, sometimes GNU/Hurd. When we are explicitly
contrasting a Linux-based system from a Hurd-based system, it is most
clear to use the two terms GNU/Linux and GNU/Hurd.
We don't have control over the whole document, but we probably get to
put what we want in our section, and in our section, I think using the
more clearly contrasting names is the right thing.
