It’s like Android doesn’t count as a “real” Linux. ;)

I guess this just reinforces the use of the term “Linux” as referring
to a complete PC-style platform/development stack.

(With the phrase “Linux kernel” being used when we just want to refer
to Torvalds’ first brainchild on its own.)

(And yes, no doubt Richard Stallman will continue his King-Cnut-style
efforts to combat this usage...)
