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.

(in this case more or less the entire community of Linux developers) is saying "no no no this is a terrible idea," and has completely logical, valid, rock-solid reasoning on their side, and they're getting a middle finger as the response.
B-B-B-B-BUT IF YOU DON'T LIKE IT, FORK IT!
That might've worked at one point, but now that everything and its dog is going to be inextricably bound to System D, you'll be forked all right.
With no reacharound.

WTF is "System D"?
If you're clueless enough to call it that, I don't expect you have any idea why it sucks, or how to configure a system that doesn't use it.
Actually, from this whole article I've got the impression that a lot of "nerds" have forgotten how to configure a Linux distro installation.
Anyone who thinks a userland init package has become critical for any and every install is holding it wrong.
RTFM or GTFO!
