I disagree. This should be a task for gnome developers, if they want to
be compatible with non-systemd systems (FreeBSD, Devuan...). If they
don't, then forget Gnome. ANY developer outside of the gnome team will
ALWAYS be behind the actual development, resulting in unstable ports. I
would not accept such ugly "third party workarounds".
