Oh yes, I'm not saying systemd should be ported to the non-Linux world; that's why I even mentioned the high cost for it in my mail. Sharing interfaces makes sense in that case. > I really don't think we can make a useful control-center that supports > all kind of operating systems.

Two things here: - if we share interfaces, as suggested several times, surely we can have one control-center for many OS. Those OS just need to implement the interfaces. - I don't think all system settings panels need deep integration with the OS, so there's no need to build a completely different control-center for non-linux systems. We can disable some panels on some OS if needed.
