Sadly XFCE is on the same boat. Fortunately only automount is the only thing, that doesn't work in 4.8, yet. I hope they don't screw it up even more.

Linux is the operating system -- GNOME is just UI.
It's a desktop environment. It provides application APIs, development interfaces, tools, inter process communication, hardware management, application launchers, file managers, editors, configuration management, and a whole host of other stuff necessary to be a full fledged desktop operating system.
i hope all BSD people and solaris people join the KDE party
And Solaris is a becoming rapidly obsolete, OpenSolaris is dead, and is supported by a company that is not only a huge asshole, but sells far more software to run on Linux then Solaris.

I do agree with Solaris tho. It's an interesting OS but it's not probable to go anywhere. Hopefully illumos or w/e they forked it as goes somewhere.

It's a bit similar to the KMS situation. And I think we're going to see more of this in the future. The *BSD people simply do not have the resources to keep up. When the time comes that they stand in the way of progress and become a burden, it's time to say goodbye
Well, the code is still open source so they can still port systemd or patch out the dependencies or whatever. More interesting is to see how Canonical is going to react to this.

he only said that the future of gnome is as a linux based os...
and i think its a great idea to make a gnome dist
i will support it if gnome wants to do it, gnome have matured well over the years
so in 2014 or something i think it would be awesome with a gnome dist running wayland

RH is the driving force in technologies like Wayland and RH is also responsible for relicensing Wayland away from a BSD-friendly MIT license to LGPL.
RH could've opted to release such code under MIT license: It's GPL compatible and the BSD teams could copy chunks of the code to make the new features available under the BSDs more easily.
Thanks to this story I was also made aware that hurting BSDs also means hurting Debian ? probably RH?s biggest Linux contender.
