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.

What about rolling your own Linux distro without the nasty bits...
Doesn't Linux From Scratch (http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/) let you do that easily?
I've ignored the debate/outrage but I won't accept binary logs so I'll have to avoid systemd.
Among the alternatives Funtoo [funtoo.org] looks the most tempting to me because of this [funtoo.org]. I would almost certainly change to a different desktop environment than Gnome (MATE is decent and what I use now).
But sure LFS is also a possibility. Recently someone gave me a link to Minimal Linux Live [linux-bg.org] which also looks like fun if one can spare the time :) It uses BusyBox so no systemd or init or udev.
