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.

With barely a minute's thought, it seems obvious that there's nothing systemd does that couldn't be accomplished by putting it in the place of rcS and letting the old init call it.
Proper design would ask how minimal can the change be and still do the job and how far up in the tree can it go. They're doing the opposite of proper design here.
