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.

    Coup is what happened. And it happened 4 years ago.
    "Social" concerns came in (debian-women), technical men were kicked the fuck out (for not being nice enough).
    Then the door was garded by the cunt feminists who now vet any new "debian developers" (no mysoginy!).

    Gnome are the people who illegally and in bad faith spent your contributions on paying for female diversity managers and to get more women in tech.
    These people are feminists.

    They took over what was ours.

    In debian more recently, a systemd fan registered the lack of systemd as default as a "technical bug", so that the issue would be decided
    by an 8 man technical committie rather than by General Resolution. 4 of the committie members were current or former redhat employees, one of them
    being the tie breaker chair. The other four were present or former canonical employees. See how this thing is?

    No true debian people.

    Anyone who complained too much was banned from the mailing list.
    They keep talking about a do-acracy and shut the fuck up users and actual programmers who use the distro.
    Even though their charter says it's all for the benifit of the user.

    If what you say is true then they have left the meritocracy for both people and software.
