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 keep hearing about these 'hundreds of lines' of shell script. However, generally, only a few lines are actually necessary.
My big concerns are debugging when the system won't come up and for cases where a different init is needed but systemd is locked in place by a hairball of ill-considered dependencies (the desktop, REALLY?!?)
Consider using init=/bin/bash as a debugging aid. Look things over, make a few changes then see if it works by calling rcS. Can't do that with systemd because it will insist on being PID1 but can't be because that's my shell.
Meanwhile, I'm having a hard time seeing what systemd can do for me that a few helpers that register with dbus can't do. Perhaps you'd like to explain?
