I mean "except for the Hurd", "save for the Hurd", or however you'd
like to phrase the act of taking a set with hundreds of elements, and
applying the same predicate to all but one of them.

Look at the list of packages at ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu and you'll
find out GNU is *far* more than the Hurd.  While trying to collect
evidence to support your absurd statement, you'll find out that GNU is
actually what makes up what you always mistook for Linux, and that
Linux is indeed just a kernel, even if it happens to be more
interesting and far more relevant than the Hurd.

ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/, go figure.
