Sure it is, but that slogan actually stands for some important principles in the open source world... like not to "force" stuff upon users... and allowing many different things to happily co-exist. Open source is also a lot about freedom (not only that of developers but also that of users)
Now looking at the GNOME-background,... there are surely people who'd say that these folks have sometimes forgotten a bit those ideals. Anyway... I guess that's off topic to this discussion (sorry for that)... except perhaps that part,... that neither choice for an init-system should restrict the freedom of others (k/freebsd, hurd, the guys who like another init-system more) more than absolutely necessary.
