Instead I see people saying that they aren't too worried about
kFreeBSD because it's a "toy" OS and then some varying degrees of
sectarianism and ecumenism about Linux distros. What I took away from
it was that there are a handful of developers who have some very
strong views favouring Linux specificity but that almost anyone
identifying themselves as members of the GNOME foundation or with a
gnome.org address has the desire to limit focus to a single platform
and rather think that the project's social skills need improvement.
It's probably not coincidental that the thread fires up around systemd
integration and that it's RH people associated with systemd
development appear a majority of the handful given to categorical
assertions about the wisdom of narrowed platform specificity.
This rumor will become true when according to this article:
http://www.osnews.com/story/24762/GNOME_Discusses_Becoming_a_Linux-only_Project
The fact of the matter is this, however: if systemd becomes an
external dependency for GNOME-Shell, this is effectively what is
happening anyway. GNOME-Shell requires systemd which requires Linux.
For all intents and purposes, it would turn GNOME into a Linux-only
project.
Someone says it's not the whole of systemd but dbus...
