While the main approach of Arch is to use vanilla software, as
possible; Arch devs have to follow upstream decisions and at some
point Arch and other distros fall into software those hide things from
end users. I think most of the main upstream software (take systemd,
KDE, GNOME and others) trying to be corporate software. Not all
upstream decisions are good but we have to follow them. My two
cents...

So which components (obviously used by the majority of Arch users) do
currently have or will soon have hardcoded! dependencies to systemd?
As far as i can say, Gnome doesn't and if it will, there is still the
possibility for everyone to either patch it, to install it along with
systemd or just to use an alternative. Folks always confront me with
the argument of more and more hardcoded dependencies, but I can't find
them and am still happy without systemd (besides the udev thing which
in fact isn't such a thing).

Cheers,
Jakob
