> The X11 diehards will go the way of the SysV-init diehards; some weird minority
I upvoted your general response but this line was uncalled for. No need to muddy the waters about X11 -> Wayland with the relentlessly debated, interminable, infernal init system comparison.
Just wait for systemd-wayland.
Systemd does not have to force Wayland as it is already going the other way. Both GNOME and KDE are requiring systemd now.
KDE support doesn't even require Linux, let alone Systemd: https://community.kde.org/FreeBSD/Setup
GNOME, on the other hand, practically wants everything running on the exact same software stack, so it requiring a package means nothing.
This discussion is originally about xfce, which does not require systemd now.
Gnome?
