because right now when NO work needs to be done is the perfect time to get this clarified. if we wait until there is a huge amount of work to be done then it will be impossible (or, at least, declared impossible). it's generally best to avoid causing damage in the first place than to cause it and then have to undo it. and, btw, it's not just about gnome. many other packages, including xfce, have or are gaining dependencies that could trigger an unwanted conversion to systemd if the user is not extremely careful - which is part of the point of this GR...if software like gnome and xfce depend on systemd then any claims that systemd in jessie is "only the default, the user can choose something else" are worthless hot air. > If you don't like upstreams choices, *you* should write patches.
