This topic is not open for discussion.

As the GNU compiler, we must use "GNU/Linux" to refer to that system in any
official statements from the project.  It is (of course) OK to refer to the
kernel as the "Linux kernel" since that makes it very clear that we're only
referring to the kernel, not the system as a whole.
