The amount of GNU userland on your system, or even a comparison of the number of lines of code in use aren't really that important an argument in the matter.

-The GNU operating system is a Free Software operating system.
-The Linux operating system, is a succesful, sophisticated, and open source UNIX clone.

Maybe that distinction isn't that important to you, but it might be important to others, like for example those working on GNU.

Maybe GNU is not important enough for you to call it by its name, propagating the values for which it stands. But why shouldn't the people for whom that does matter elucidate their concerns and ask others to not misrepresent them in that matter?

It seems to me that imposing a speech requirement on a code hosting facility is pretty scummy.
