Since when is assembling the instructions correctly, as specified in
the
arch ref, and not in some other random way a gnuism?
If you require current gnome and drop support for older versions (and
implicitly all other desktops), people start writing stuff that depends
on systemd. It doesn't matter if the feature you abandoned support for
the past 10 years of everthing else for wasn't itself provided by
systemd.
