Hi,

I tend to agree with the necessity of avoiding to mention GNOME or
systemd or anything else in an acronym. This is not a crusade against
a particular package/software/subsystem, but a necessary response to a
drift from the principles which inspired the Debian Project,
i.e. making a universal OS which cares for the necessities of its
users and of the Free Software community at large.
