If you don't want to discuss your statement, you should have omitted it in the first place, because it obviously is no contribution to the discussion. > Of course I have no real numbers!

Your personal opinion is certainly not an argument that needs to be taken into consideration for deciding on a default for debian, especially if it is formed on such dubious grounds. > I don't want to discuss the specific usability aspects of GNOME 3, but > note there are NO such flame wars about XFCE :) I am unsure about this statement, but if it is, I think this might very well be more a reflection on the people who started those flames and forks, than on any technical merrits XFCE might have over GNOME. > And as I've already said, I would really prefer to see a choice in > debian-installer than discuss what should be the default... This I can second. I'm especially unsure about whether or not the options of "web server", "database server" and such are really usefull as they are. I think most of the people really using those will have special preferences about which web/database/whatever server to install. For this reason I also stopped using tasksel a long time ago.
