Serious question: Do we want that kind of user? Somebody who knows
enough to discern a difference between Gnome and Xfce, but doesn't
understand how interchangeable WMDEs are, nor how much work it would
take Devuan to keep on undoing all the systemd dependencies Gnome will
doubtlessly keep sewing into Gnome?

You can't please all the people all the time, and prioritization of
resources means some are simply going to choose other distros.
