I agree with Bruno.
I don't see any problem, for example, on having a download page with:
* GNU (kernel: hurd)
* GNU (kernel: linux-libre)
* GNU (kernel: xyz)
* Or go to the list of other free system distributions
And, since the GNU system will be available with multiple kernels, one
of the downloads should be the recommended one for newcomers.
