Ingo, I agree with the bulk of your comment, but you throw in a couple of petty accusations which are really out of place:

The real reason why these GNU projects have not been replaced yet, despite all the political fuss from Stallman is simply because silly politics is not yet causing enough problems on the technical side for people to care.

So there is not enough "political fuss" to matter? So it is not very important?

I suspect this would change if someone on the GNU side tried to do some stupid political move, such as force-licensing them to GPLv3 only - a GPLv2 fork outside of gnu.org might happen in a heartbeat.

I rather suspect that most people would not care a bit. Where is the GPLv2 fork of Samba or those other 1341 projects as of today?

Linux just happened as a practical replacement - despite all the huffing and puffing from Stallman.

All I have seen from Stallman is support to the Linux kernel. The only "huffing and puffing" I see is from Stallman detractors, witness the comments right here on this page ladies and gentlemen.

I suspect you are just repeating Linux-land myths. When accusing people of such things please provide pointers so that others can verify them; otherwise it just becomes nonsensical mudslinging which does nothing to advance your points of view.
