The FOSDEM poll was stacked — no one really wanted to hurt Vincent Untz
too much given his obvious efforts to be nice, there was this knot of
GNOME people bunched together that were a tad intimidating, and people do
not go to FOSDEM to fight. What is telling however is the complete refusal
of the audience to put systemd and Gnome 3 in the same bucket. Lennart's
efforts to explain his project, understand sysadmin needs, provide a
smooth transition and keep current usages working clearly paid off there.

So don't overplay the GNOME 3 FOSDEM session, it was an awkward moment for
everyone involved (and certainly not representative of the positive energy
that permeated other presentations).
