I think there is a distinction with these groups compared to suckless. These software written by these groups is tightly coupled, relying on shared libraries and APIs. They intend to create a cohesive and integrated operating system. Whereas the suckless software does not share code or APIs, at least as I understand it, and does not seek to create a cohesive OS beyond the classic loosely coupled "Unix" idea.
