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.

    I fear that Debian is going the way of Firefox. It has been one stupid decision after another from them. If they do go forward with this systemd and GNOME 3 stupidity, then they will drive away their most important users.

    which users are their most important users?

    the ones that bitch and complain the loudest, or the ones that know how to use apt?
