After some discussion we've reached the following position statement,
which
has the approval of Steven, Petr and myself:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It is with much regret that we observe that GDM has grown hard
dependencies
on a Linux-specific component (systemd). Although GDM still offers the
possibility of running it using ConsoleKit, this codepath is no longer
supported by upstream, and ConsoleKit itself is considered deprecated
software and has been abandoned by its developers.
Furthermore, we observe that the GNOME UI has grown hard dependencies
on GDM,
as well as other developments which make it impractical to run GNOME
on
kernels other than Linux. Our understanding is that GNOME release
managers don't
see this as a problem and are not actively trying to resolve this.
In this situation we do not think it's reasonably practical for us to
continue
providing assistance to ensure portability of the GNOME desktop on
GNU/kFreeBSD.
When it comes to individual applications, we'd like to support as many
of
them as possible. As long as they are still intended to be portable by
their upstream developers, and that they don't have any hard
dependency
on the GNOME desktop itself (i.e., they can be run as standalone
apps), we
intend to continue providing porting assistance for them.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I thought this might be of some interest:

Mraw,

Interesting...he say: "We don’t make it a secret that modern Linux is
the primary target that we are developing on and for.". KDE guys also
make KDE first in LInux, but they have an official web site to support
this purpose http://freebsd.kde.org/ and Gnome?
KDE also investing in new technologies and at same time they have a team
to portability, so...
