     I agree also. I'm still not against leaving some room to Gnome/KDE 
to come in if they find a way to run with stubs, or totally without 
systemd (which I doubt), but I absolutely don't care if Devuan has none 
of them.


     99% people use Windows or Mac. Out of the 1% using Linux or BSD, 
80% try painfully to get shomething working out of Gnome, because it's 
installed by default and they don't know of usable DEs they could install.


     I think a Linux desktop with Xfce4 as default is going to be more 
attractive than Debian to any user, even if they didn't hear of systemd. 
Think of it: a desktop that's usable, out of the box! The Desktop is 
going to make the difference, because, of course, Debian Gnome/Linux 
will force people into Gnome's hell (no typo).
