I long ago concluded that users who want to run Gnome3 need to do what |
| 17 |
Gnome3 devs want them to do. Currently with 3.8 that includes using systemd. |

There's two ways of looking at this: how things should (or could) be vs |
| 20 |
how things are. Basically, to get Gnome3 running, you need to be OK with |
| 21 |
the latter and willing to run with it. |

Many folks outside fedora-land are not at all happy with the way things |
| 24 |
are and would like to see things move over to the former - how things |
| 25 |
should be. That's a lot of work, and with a rather unco-operative |
| 26 |
upstream the work is now twice as hard (and perhaps not at all viable). |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
That's how I see it anyway - as a rather cut 'n dried binary choice the |
| 29 |
user must make. |
