Become upstream developers and create fixes to remove the dependancy either by working on openrc features to emulate the same things that systemd has that GNOME requires, or split things out of GNOME so that it does not require systemd dependencies. But to complain to upstream without providing patches is a bit futile, don't you think? That's not how open source projects work, we all know that. greg k-h
