I don't know what's the real reason backing RMS's decision of not
declaring it the GNU system yet. However I *do* know that what you are
stating is clearly not the real reason. As noted by some colleagues,
you are conflating FSF and GNU project's roles.

To say you would be *very happy* to see a release of the GNU system
that allows a user the same technical freedoms as the Hurd provides is
laudable. Stating what you've stated is what, in fact, is *very sad*.
