Debian Jesse is going to have Gnome3 as the default desktop.
The desktop re-qualification page, used to help choose which desktop will be default, has in the Jesse version a weight for systemd integration, and of course only Gnome3 does it (at least for now). This will surely make the systemd/gnome3 fanbase happy, but possibly will make others unhappy, as it [may] be seen as another step towards mono-culture, until we soon end up with all distros being redhat clones.

They kicked anyone that wouldn't toe the line (Ted Walther etc) out of Debian.

I miss krooger. As a blast from the past here's his DPL platform from '06
https://www.debian.org/vote/2006/platforms/krooger [debian.org]
Troup's statue and Suffield's announcement post. Krooger's general resolution proposal. Those were funny times, yet in their own way insightful times.
I remember when I got Suffield's announcement and I nearly wet myself laughing, yet it was so desperately necessary that it be sent.
Its shocking really how nothing has really changed, post-SJW invasion. Political correctness and complete lack of humor hasn't really fixed anything at all, despite the endless promises and bitter infighting.
"I am in Debian to change the world for the better, and have fun while doing it." - I miss having that guy in the project. There is wisdom in keeping a court jester around. Sometimes someone has to speak the truth. The corporate invader types hate it which is reason alone to support it.
He wouldn't have made a good DPL, but he was NEEDED in the project none the less.
And group of humans doing anything stagnates and dies eventually although a formal or informal court jester can keep it alive longer, maybe indefinitely. I don't think the corporate SJW invaders from the last decade or so see it that way, or maybe they're EEE-ing the project on purpose, hard to say... Malice and incompetence can be hard to tell apart.

Maybe he can be pivotal in a debian fork. Got a way to get in touch with him. Now is the time. Last time I saw him he was at rootsoffaith.org .... Here http://www.rootsoffaith.net/profile/TedWalther [rootsoffaith.net]
