I think the push back you're seeing about this is because the second
sentence imposes a fairly significant constraint on the project.

Say gnome ultimately requires systemd, and something else in the
meantime happens to be pid 1, that sentence really gets in the way.
Why not avoid impeding progress and just let gnome do what it needs to
work the way it wants, which would involve depending on the right
stuff to make systemd its pid 1?

Best wishes,
Mike
