Dear Nate,

I have already said several times that I couldn't care less about
GNOME or KDE or XFCE 'per se'. However, I believe it is fundamental to
provide sustainable alternatives (and as many as possible) to the
"centralisation madness" that has become so popular. That's why,
ideally, I wouldn't like to leave behind any single piece of software
that can potentially work without systemd, and that could escape the
total domination plan that is unfolding in front of our eyes. If we
keep accepting compromises, and reacting with "well, I don't need
this, so I don't care", we will be left with basically no toy to play
with, and in a quite short time.
