RMS says: "It's not a matter of a moral obligation to do anything specifically concerning my being on the mailing list. I would not normally subscribe to a list just for one short discussion; I'd have to ask someone to subscribe me, and ask someone to unsubscribe me, and it seems simpler for everyone if you just forward the few messages I send.
The reason to change the list's name is just that Linux is the kernel, and the system you probably mostly talk about is GNU/Linux."
