I'm totally against the concept of a Debian fork with init freedom but without DE freedom.

IMHO, if we're *technically* able to deliever GNOME, we definitely should do that, even if the R&D costs are high. We should disinfect as many packages as possible, even if that means we provide a slightly crippled experience in Jessie. In the future (Jessie++), I think we should develop systemd alternatives that allow us to take the upper hand and contain this infection going forward.
