Me too. When Gnome 3 came out, I went elsewhere. But...

In fact, having Gnome is one of the "Litmus tests" many people use in
evaluating whether to go to a distro. If Devuan's Gnome really has no
risk of "stealth systemd sneakback", then it's a wonderful asset for
Devuan to have, and having it eliminates a big hunk of explanation that
we would have had to make.

And Jaret, we all know that depoetterizing Gnome wasn't easy. Daniel
Robbins went all out to praise the Funtoo developer who depoetterized
it for Funtoo.
