> FreeBSD developers are actually looking at something like systemd themselves If this claim were true it still is beside the point of my comment, that systemd itself has a "Linux only, and we don't care" approach, and dbus for the moment is not that. > GNOME itself does exist on the BSDs Yes the ports tree is a wonderful place for those things to sit for those who are interested and for a larger portion to not bother installing them.
