They ought to have said Gnu/Linux, as per their own propaganda!

I'm guessing if the word "Hurd" doesn't appear anywhere on the page, it's still Linux.

Linux is just the kernel. GNU as a name for the system is okay, while Linux is arguably not. GNU/Linux is just a compromise for those who insist on naming Linux. Also, from the projects website, we have

"GuixSD is a distribution of the GNU operating system centered on the GNU Guix package manager. It uses the Linux-libre kernel, and support for the Hurd is being worked on."
