Well, the famous =E2=80=9CGNU System=E2=80=9D was always supposed to contai=
n non-GNU
packages.

Plus we=E2=80=99re just talking about a module name space, and using =E2=80=
=98gnu=E2=80=99 at
the beginning is just a way to claim ownership of that name space, not
of the packages that happen to be provided by those modules.

And module names are not really read from left to right; the naming
convention is usually (OWNER FEATURE), or (OWNER CATEGORY FEATURE).

This is all fairly meta.  :-)

How does that sound?
