Personally, I believe his plan is to blackmail all distros into compliance.
If you DON'T change your name, he will post on your mailing list. This will,
in effect, clog it with endless messages arguing this silly point back and
forth until no work can actually get accomplished.

It's a fiendishly simple plan. You've got to admire the man. (No really,
it's in the GPL, you've GOT to admire the man.)

p.s. for the record, I do admire the contributions that Mr. Stallman has
made to the *nix community.

I don't personally think GNU/Linux is correct. I think that's a
bastardization
of the name, and it's doing a disservice to everything GNU stood for.
It takes away from the efforts of those who've worked there, and
focuses everything on RMS's attempt to get recognition for GNU.
Note that he doesn't want you to change the name to Linux/GNU. He
wants top billing for GNU, he wants GNU/Linux, So why is GNU
more important than Linux?
