What happened with GNOME is accurately described by myself in:

I'm a GNOME release team member. We get really nice contributions from OpenBSD. But 100% of the development is done by people working on Linux. It has been that way since at least 5+ years.

This "portability" complaints is IMO empty talk: actually contribute and make things happen. However, at the moment systemd will share various things across distributions and desktop environments, allowing GNOME developers to not need to maintain as much code as we do (e.g. the freedesktop.org ConsoleKit).

I'm guessing people won't read the blogposts, but oh well :P
