Right now Dia is pretty much self-contained and pays no tariffs to the
likes of systemd. Handing it over to the Gnome people would eventually
result in a Dia very picky about what WM/DE and even what init system
the user is using. I'd suggest staying away from Gnome and Freedesktop
for these reasons, so anyone running GNU/Linux can use it.
