I think of systemd as one component in an attempt to create a good desktop environment based on the Linux kernel. Sort of like how Android is an attempt to create a good phone environment based on the Linux kernel.
Based on that, I think it makes more sense to come up with a separate name for something like a Gnome/Wayland/Weston/systemd/Linux combination. While we are at it we could come up with a separate name for a Linux based system configured primarily by writing scripts. We should stop pretending that there is some sort of generic combination of things called "Linux".
