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.

Interesting. You keep on saying the very things I called people out for in my original post. Systemd is self-evidently bad. Sorry but that's not an argument. You quote a paragraph on how systemd is architected and say how bad that is but you fail to say specifically why it's bad and what problems are occurring, or even potentially could occur. "An experienced sysadmin doesn't need to be told this is a terrible idea" you say. Go on, tell me why it's a terrible idea. Specifically. Otherwise I stand by my claim that arguments against systemd so far have largely been weak.
The fact is that among the sysadmin communities I'm a member, including the official RHEL mailing lists, there is nary a word about actual systemd problems.
Don't patronize me with saying "educate [yourself]." The onus is on you to provide evidence, not tell me just to go look for it. I keep waiting for specific arguments against and problems with systemd but so far I've been disappointed.
By the way I am an experienced sysadmin, maybe not as much as many of you here. But I've worked with Linux and Unix for 14 years, adminning many servers hosting different kinds of services. I can talk about problems with init scripts because I've worked with them. I've had systems not boot because of a problem with a service starting (OpenLDAP on RH 4 and 5, I'm looking at you!) I've written my fair share of init scripts. I've also worked with other init systems too.
