The generic term for the Linux ecosystem is not the venue for that. It might have helped if it were done early on, but GNU and the free software movement are in no danger of falling into obscurity at this point.

Anyone who might have followed the GNU/ to find out what it is would have found out about the free software movement in the process of learning about Linux. That was my introduction to it, and this naming campaign has given me a negative impression.

I'm glad people are working on replacements for GNU so I don't see someone saying "you mean GNU/Linux" every time anyone mentions Linux in public.
