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 guess if you remove an init system its kinda implicit that you install another
hopefully in the final release they'll make the install of sysvinit automatic when removing systemd (same as the old gdm3 to gdm and many others)
