Although this isn't the first debian-devel systemd-slugfest, there's
more of a sense of urgency and finality this time because GNOME 3.8
depends on logind, and, other than on Ubuntu for systemd <=204, that
means that GNOME 3.8 depends on systemd-as-pid-1.
And does one really needs Gnome? Based on the level of user
dissatisfaction I'd say Gnome shouldn't interfere with boot process.
Especially one that tries to bundle everything... maybe gnome-devs
are
trying hard to address smarts, tablets and gadgets only?
