We can use the Debian way of naming the whole system/project "Parabola",
the system with Linux-libre (and packages built to use glibc on Linux
ABIs) "Parabola GNU/Linux-libre", with Hurd "Parabola GNU/Hurd", with
kFreeBSD "Parabola GNU/kLibreBSD" or "Parabola GNU/kFreeBSD-libre"
depending on kernel deblobbing.

So my argument is mostly for 4, although practically it's for 1 until we
have a port for another kernel.

(A port to a FreeBSD kernel would make a name like "Parabola
GNU/Linux-libre mips64el" necessary to avoid ambiguity.)
