On the contrary, in experimental, gnome-shell depends on
gnome-settings-daemon, which in turn depends on systemd. I wouldn't be
surprised if this is one of the reasons sid still has version 3.4 of
the shell, rather than the latest upstream version (3.8).
If/when gnome-shell 3.8 hits unstable and systemd gets forced on end
users as well...I dare say that the general outcry here on
debian-devel would make the past network-manager related threads look
tame in comparison. I offer my deepest condolences to the gnome
maintainers in advance (I doubt that they're looking forward to
dealing with all this).
Regards,
Vincent
