I don't really see that happening anytime soon - it will be more likely to become an issue for the more complex desktop environments (Gnome is already going this way - KDE may very well go this way later). Historically they're the first packages to require things like HAL, udev, dbus, pulseaudio, etc (and on Gentoo the maintainers tend to do a good job of minimizing dependencies). I think many will switch to systemd anyway, simply because that is the way the wind is blowing and it does have some benefits depending on your situation (but so do a number of other configurations). I tend to use it by default on new installs, and anytime I find myself tweaking my monit rules I keep bumping up migrating entirely to systemd a little higher on my to-do list. Rich
