Thank you, I think so too.

It's not an appeal to the "majority". I don't care what the "majority"
of Linux users wants... in the first place because there is no
reliable way to measure such thing, and in the second place because I
think an admin with dominion over 100 systems, his opinion should have
more weight than the high school student that it's learning Linux.

I care about technical arguments (which this thread has been
*incredibly* lacking, except for the failed attempts to call a
"philosophy" a technical argument), and the opinion of experts on the
subject.

And more than that, even, I care about code. Talk is cheap; coding is
hard. Look at the git repositories, and basically all the answers that
you want are there.

Finally, I know you didn't specifically said it was me, but I want to
make something clear: I've *never* in this thread said that anyone was
stupid or "holding back" progress. I said that the anonymous author
from boycottsystemd.org was either spreading FUD or ignorant, but I
presented proof of why it's blatantly false that GNOME has a hard
dependency on systemd. Here are the links again: [1], [2].
