While the name of the list (and the group) continue to remain ``Linux'', I believe that's more for historical reasons than because of any specific existing bias towards Linux as a FOSS platform. IMO, as long as we keep your remaining points in view, we should continue to discuss and promote all FOSS solutions, regardless of whether they're Linux-based or not. On the other hand, Linux does happen to be the most popular FOSS platform in the world today, so I guess conversations about Linux will tend to dominate for the foreseeable future in any case.
