"GNU/Hurd" makes sense to me when compared with "GNU/Linux", so your
position seems coherent. I can imagine you aren't able to change
the "Gentoo Linux" in the main site to "Gentoo GNU/Linux", though ;)

maybe you're right in that it's pragmaticaly better. i have my doubts on
wether people reading "Gentoo GNU/Hurd" will think of it as a distribution
of GNU, but looks like one way or the other some sort of confusion can't be
totaly avoided :(
