You said:

A general purpose desktop image consumable is very important for the
project as a whole; I don't have any metrics to back this up, but I'm
sure it's what most of the people using the project now want.


And you also said:

You seem to be ruling out the possibility that there could be
agreement on this target audience.





And I'm saying that, in fact, there isn't common consensus. If you need 
evidence of this ask the board themselves. Better yet, ask all past and 
current board members.

There isn't common consensus, evidenced by this argument existing.

It's like the Athenian Oath - if everyone acted in the way the Athenian 
Oath dictated then they wouldn't have needed the oath, would they?
