I think we need to reconcile a few things here. gnome 49+ is not shying from hard depending on systemd. e.g. gnome-session and gdm packages now require systemd as hard dependency. Which is fine, However, please address the trickle down effect of this change as well, since there are other recipes depending on gnome-session or gdm, they should also check for systemd distro feature since they wont work without systemd anymore as well.
