That all this could be done and yield something else doesn't change
what the combination GNU+Linux is.
No, but it does point out that Linux does not particularly depend on GNU
or vice versa.
Removing the GNU bits until it is
no longer the largest single part of the whole operating system would
just give legitimacy to naming the whole after some other part.
I suspect the X-related bits outweigh the GNUish parts considerably.
