Joey Hess has apparently left Debian after 18 years, stating that the Debian Constitution is leading Debian in "very unhealthy directions".

    I skimmed them too, and saw something about Gnome requiring systemd. And since that's such a major desktop manager (Is it? Still?) Debian has no choice but to go with the flow.

    It'd be a huge shame if something like Gnome, who apparently lost their minds years ago when they came out with 3, managed to splinter Debian on their way down.

    Gnome will be directly integrating with systemD in the next few releases. It plans on using it's handling of cgroups to provide sandboxing for all running applications.

      The way things are going, the Linux kernel will be directly integrated with systemd a few releases after that.
