Some pages and documentation of some projects insist on using
terminology such as "a Linux", "Linux distributions", "Linux flavours"
etc. when referring to GNU/Linux systems.
Would the publicity benefits of appearing on such pages outweigh the
harm done by GuixSD appearing as "a Linux"?
Such a case we had recently: Guitarix web page. Despite having
"GNU/Linux" in the project name, they were unwilling to change mentions
of "a Linux" and "Linux flavours" on their page to GNU/Linux, without
really giving a reason... Anyone interested might want to check their
mailing list archives; I don't know if perhaps my communication skills
were too bad.
