I don't see anything wrong with a single developer concentrating on a few projects? How many developers do you know that make significant contributions to many different projects?!
Do you have a source for you claim that lennarts explicitely not supports non-Gnome? I think it is pretty clear that he doesn't support non-Linux, but why is that wrong?
On the other hand: What i don't like about Canonical is their latest move to first pretend to support Wayland and then mysteriously presenting Mir all the while spreading bullshit about how Wayland is not good enough.

Neither would I, if they were projects worth concentrating on or of any meaningful long-term value to the community.

systemd invites/demands dependencies on its own, unique interfaces that do not and will not exist outside Linux. This retards progress of other projects in supporting non-Linux systems.

Red Hat began to support Upstart before switching to their in-house systemd and spreading bullshit about how Upstart is not good enough.
Why is it OK when Red Hat tries to come up with new things but not Canonical? Do you work for one of these companies?

No, not working for any of them. See my comment that it's still incorrect saying Lennart does all the work.
You can easily check the git yourself, go ahead.
Even taking out udev shows Kay Sievers contributing nearly as much as Lennart. It also shows many other people contributing. That there is a main developer that does a lot of work is not something negative about a project, isn't it?!
> their latest move to first pretend to support Wayland
In November 2010 [1].
> and then mysteriously presenting Mir
In March 2013 [2].
Technologies change. The best path to follow can change. Switching paths over two years is surely acceptable and reasonable for any company. Claiming that Canonical "pretended" is false and misleading - or do you have any evidence of this?
> Looking into the git contributions he is not even the one who contributed most!
Others have already rebutted this: udev accounts for most other contributors, leaving Lennart for the vast majority of systemd.
Do you have anything to say that isn't deliberately misleading?
Development of Mir started 9 months earlier. So they basically lied into the face of the whole Free Software community and the Wayland developers who counted on their support by not communicating their change of heart.

Looking into the git contributions he is not even the one who contributed most! http://pastebin.com/bkUs3jXa
