It is better to go with a grass-roots solution, even the one technically inferior, that isn't being influenced by one single vendor or government.
Sure. I have a gut feeling that GNOME reworking was done solely to make trouble for Canonical.
The Interface Stability Promise [1] by systemd team is just a promise, nothing more. I wonder if Red Hat will keep it if it decides that it no longer serves their bottom line.
