I suspect Mint may need to do things that way just as a

This matches my observations too. It gained lot of popularity
when Ubuntu switched to Unity as default desktop environment and
Fedora moved with Gnome 3 - quite many users started looking for
a distro with more conservative defaults. However its development
/ maintenance team does not seem to match that popularity burst.
