We don't have to. Why would you want this?
Simply give a download a descriptive name, and put the details in
parens behind it or a proper description box.

Imagine we get support for one of the BSD kernels in the future. And
then a variant which builds our own BSD-based GuixSD/OS.. you don't
need to come up with a new name every time.

GuixOS (Linux-libre)
GuixOS (Hurd)
GuixOS (obsd)

easy as that
