It is a new 'upstream' that we can rely on for running our GNU/Linux systems. It so happens that this time it's a core part of the system that's being 'standardised'. If you're not a fan of freedesktop.org, then I'm afraid that's a religious position you choose to take.
That is completely upside down. Blindly accepting truth 'fom above'. in this case freedesktop.org, is a religious attitude. Refusing to do that certainly is not.
