That's called rhetorical questions. Those are GNU's opinions which are
obviously and adamantly not shared.
-I- think it's entirely silly.
Xorg is as much "not a component" as GNU is.
If gnusense is "GNU/Linux" based on Ubuntu, then why have they stripped
"Ubuntu" from the name? That's entirely hypocritical.

silly, in depth.
I'm sorry if I've come across as making a silly suggestion - I am
being very earnest here.
I am not suggesting to call the system by my favourite component.
While the X Windowing System, GTK, and the Linux kernel are
components, "GNU" is not a component.
If the Free Software Foundation wants to
call something "GNU/Linux" that badly, let 'em put together their own
distribution and call it whatever they like.
www.gnewsense.org is FSF sponsored, and removes all proprietary
software from the Ubuntu GNU/Linux distribution.
