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.

systemd integration should be considered a negative, and any desktop offering it should be penalized. Any desktop requiring it should be penalized even more. systemd needs to be quarantined and marginalized. Any desktop that isn't helping in that effort needs to be quarantined and marginalized, too.
