No, I have not.
I am not aware of any underlying bugs in (say) gnome-without-systemd
that would be RC. But the sentiment behind this GR is that any such
bugs should be considered indeed RC for the whole project.

I think that if necessary we might have to delay the release. That
would be a matter for the release team. I would be very unhappy if we
ditched the ability of people to choose a different init system simply
to maintain our release schedule.
It is very regrettable that this identical resolution didn't get
enough seconds in March. At least I can say `I foresaw the neeed for
this'.
