For the GNU system we always have had a name and that's "GNU".

The init system, the package manager and the software packaged are
components of the GNU system.

GNU dmd is *not* part of Guix.  Likewise all the GNU programs packaged
to work with Guix are *not* part of Guix.

GNU Guix is a package manager, GNU is an operating system.  Please,
don't conflate the two.
