Sorry, but that is a really stupid way to gauge the
importance of GNU. The GNU toolchain comprises the 
most important packages on your system, the required
core packages of every Linux distro. They are the 
tools that made it possible for Linus to develop his
kernel. Just because they happen to be outnumbered 
by Nethack clones, P2P clients, and photo gallery
scripts, does NOT mean they should be marginalized.
