What is GNOME? We seem to fond of asking that question these days.

That is never ever the answer, and hasn't been for a long time. If it's
anywhere on our web sites, it should be removed.

For consistency. It would be harmless to change it to "Gnome" if the
marketing team decided that this is a good idea.
Is it still an acronym?
No.
If so, what
do the letters stand for?
