If you want to play the semantics game then no, GNU is not the main
part of a modern GNU/Linux system. Today, apart of GNOME, GNU is
mostly glibc, libiconv et al. (I'm not counting compilers as they are
only relevant to devs.) Unless you stretch the meaning of GNU to
"anything covered by GPL or LGPL", it is hardly a majority.
