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.

    Are people communicating with the community at large about what all this disruption is in aid of?

    Spurious technical non-arguments are presented as indisputable fact in response to even the most balanced criticisms. So while there is often some form of "communication", the systemd camp have been incapable of responding with anything more than a dictatorial "because fuck you". Add resentment over the pushiness and dubious politics taking place and it seems the schism isn't going to be resolved amicably. The "fuck you" attitude having become mutual across both camps.
