What do you mean "other than the Hurd"?

I mean "except for the Hurd", "save for the Hurd", or however you'd
like to phrase the act of taking a set with hundreds of elements, and
applying the same predicate to all but one of them.

I don't mean the semantics, I mean philosophically. Why would you except the one thing that deserves to be called GNU from this discussion?

Look at the list of packages at ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu and you'll
find out GNU is *far* more than the Hurd.  While trying to collect
evidence to support your absurd statement, you'll find out that GNU is
actually what makes up what you always mistook for Linux, and that
Linux is indeed just a kernel, even if it happens to be more
interesting and far more relevant than the Hurd.

ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/, go figure.

And yet, there is still something that _IS_ the GNU project's OS, that people can use if they want to use something named GNU. But, overwhelming they pick some other project instead.
