This would, IMHO, be the biggest mistake possible: tying GNUstep to a particular platform. I personally love that fact that I only have to write an app once and then have it running with little porting effort on Linux, FreeBSD, Mac OS X, and even ugly, but spread M$ Windows. Of course, I'm not against a GNUstep-only-system (hell, I already did it as my graduation work at high school, complete with a CD-based installer, integrated workspace, it's own package management, etc.), but care should be taken not to make it part of the core libraries.
