Maybe Stallman once expected the GNU System to be composed entirely of GNU packages, but if so, then he gave that up long ago, when he saw that useful free software was being developed by others too.

Nearly impossible, given that so many huge external pieces are part of the "GNU system" (X Window System, TeX come to mind).
