6400. I am very pleased to find everything (except suspend) seems to
work fine with no systemd stuff whatsoever!
I have at the moment an older version of dbus (1.5.8-1) .. later
versions bring libsystemd-login0 .. and libpulse0 from stable, later
versions bring libsystemd0. TDE needs dbus, kaffeine needs libpulse0.
These libs may not be a problem anyway.
Shutdown works. Usb notification/mounts work, which do not in other
DE's without (or even with) systemd.
Do TDE users want freedom (as much as is possible) from systemd?
Does the TDE team have any particular policy towards systemd
dependency?

TDE user, Debian stable. I am going to use whatever Debian
provides...that said I plan on using Wheezy as long as it is supported,
hopefully LTS. I also have Debian Squeeze LTS boxes that work fine for
the tasks they do.
I use Vbox with Jessie, systemd, I do not directly interact with the
init system, works fine. I already make make judicious use of
virtualization for the new stuff.
I prefer a simple as possible gnu/linux environment because I do want
to be in control of my own hardware. TDE is enough automagic for me.
GNU is not Unix though :-)
