Imho that's no problem. If a higher level has a hard dependency on a
lower level, that's no surprise. And why should I care if someone else's
desktop pulls in any particular low-level plumbing. :-)
BUT! If my choice of low-level plumbing (systemd) pulls in a desktop I
don't want that is a BIG PROBLEM. If I'm running headless, I don't even
WANT a desktop !!! I more and more get the feeling that linux is
standardising on the Gnome desktop, which I really just DO NOT get on with.
Cheers,
Wol
