I don't think we should blindly reject providing Gnome in Devuan. As I wrote,
shwsh has already provided the two needed packages: elogind and gnome-settings-
daemon. As you might know GuixSD is running Gnome, and they use elogind (ported
by a Guix developer from systemd). Ability to choose desktops is good for
versatility in addition to init system choices.

Even if I don't run Gnome somebody else might want to. And if we can provide it
why not. This is a situation very similar to eudev (fork of udev from systemd).
