I know at least 2 people in the packagers group who use xfce. So if they have no knowledge for maintaining rpms ( and a dm doesn't require more knowledge than anything else ), that would be shocking. Anyway, if a major DE is unmaintained, maybe we should start to think removing it until there is enough volunteer, since we do not want to have a popular application to be crappy due to lack of maintainer. This would be lying to user, and giving them false expectations. -- Michael Scherer
