Follow-up Comment #18:

> Respect doesn't justify using misnomers and seeing the reality in a
distorted way. I also have respect for the developers of LibreOffice, X11,
Firefox, etc. But should I include these in the name of the whole system? As
you know, a distribution like Ubuntu or CentOS includes software from
different origins.
> 
> Informed people use the name "Linux distribution" for these Desktop systems
not because Linux makes up the biggest part of the system, but because it is
the heart of the system, the most vital single module. If you are worried that
people may think that the whole system is originated from Mr Torvalds, I will
explain the meaning of the term "Linux distribution" in the documentation,
which is not written yet.

All these points are addressed in the GNU/Linux FAQ
<https://www.gnu.org/gnu/gnu-linux-faq.html>.

> You are right that the phrase "Operating Systems with Linux kernel" includes
Android which is not the target of this package. Adding the modifier "Desktop"
at the beginning may solve it but makes the phrase a little too long!

This also reminds me the argument where the OP said, "a two-legged animal
without feathers and with broad flat nails."

I believe the further discussion is pointless.  We've clearly established that
you don't agree with Savannah hosting requirements.
