UNIXes have to divide its software by function types and not the suites, depending on each other and the only. For example, it should be possible for X user to pick his/her own X environment: task bar from one package, window maanger from another, screen-saver from the third, etc. -- according to personal prefernces on how well each particular software does its job, or how much comfortable to use it for the end user. And os it is w/ all the OS - does not matter what. -- So, all the software should work w/ each other - through APIs that should be standartized. And that's it. And the Enemy disaster, the "SystemD" will not be problem - for the sold/betraial DDs will be to have use the disaster, and the yet free distro-s -- "SysV". -- And so on.
