I say we drop every WM & DE except GNOME, because that will simplify the distro, and lead to *much* fewer bugs!!! Obviously, what I just wrote is nonsense, and should never happen. Because FLOSS *is* about choice. However... it is perfectly reasonable for a distro to say, "We can not be all things to all people, so some limits have to be set, and some users/DDs will be disappointed." - -- Ron Johnson, Jr. Jefferson LA USA "(Women are) like compilers.
