The fact that the next blog post (linked at the bottom of the article) is titled "a desktop for all" is deliciously ironic in context.

  For all in this context does not mean “all the infinite combinations of software for people that refuse to adopt the status quo” systemd is here to stay. It is ludicrous to imagine everybody to keep supporting that 1% that is ideologically opposed to it, no? As those people love to say, open-source is written by volunteers, you can always fork it.

    What about the (admittedly small) % of operating systems that can't support systemd, like FreeBSD? systemd is pretty heavily dependent on Linux, and that's not an ideological thing.

      Does gnome officially support non Linux kernels? It's possible to implement the systemd APIs gnome is taking dependencies on without strictly using systemd itself.
