Well, I know for a fact that quite a number do; but so far most people who care have been able to steer clear of this trainwreck so we did. I'm about to switch all my machines to Gentoo (from Debian) because that will indeed allow you to build a distro without much of this nonsense in -- because as has been eloquently said; you simply don't need this fucking shite to run a 'normal' machine. And the thing is; we're all very busy so we tend to take the 'easy' way out for things like this; but wholesale switching all my machines is indeed painful, and I'm not liking.
