From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Makes sense and you're probably right, but I'll tell you why I didn't do it that way:

I just did what came first to me
I like the idea of the API defining the project structure
When adding a new package manager, if that ever happens, I would like to see all other implementation of the same functionality on the same file, for help and inspiration
