the GNU system includes a kernel. there are variants of GNU that use other
kernels, like GNU/Linux, but the real GNU system is Hurd-based.

i agree in that GNU/Hurd is a useful (though redundant) name to distinguish
GNU from its variants. this is the case for "Debian GNU/Hurd" as a distinction
to "Debian GNU/Linux".
but it's out of context here. Ie: if you speak of "Linux" as a whole system,
like in "Gentoo Linux", you deny that system is a GNU variant, hence no need
to distinguish it from the real GNU, which "theoricaly" is a totally different
thing.
p.s: yes, i feel deja-vu too.. but ain't it fun going on the same things
over and over? ;)
