This all seems to make sense. Ditching legacy and rarely used code that next to no one uses (and some that was temporary to begin with.)
Nothing stopping anyone else from creating things to handle gnome without systemd but also making the workload easier and one might argue more secure.
Yeah, I generally agree; I'm a big fan of systemd on Linux.
However, on BSD this does sound unfortunately likely to be painful.
Anyone developing desktop for BSD will likely just gravitate to xfce or similar I bet. I honestly am not sure what ghostbsd or midnight or others package by default now.
I'm not either, I've never even ran a BSD desktop... But I support the BSD desktop existing and wish it well.
