Well, that's why I asked. If you're trying to fork the community because you
don't like how it's currently operating or the Board decisions that came to
cause it to be labelled this way, and say "it should have have been done
[this way] from the start", then say's why you're doing it.  Don't hide
behind "oh I want to build an upstream thing with btrfs and XYZ", if your
goal is "I want the spin with GNOME to operate more like other SIGs in a
more public manner, and I want it demoted from the 'desktop' branding."
(which is what I'm reading here.)

If you think asking what the motiviation is and questioning whether the
proposed idea is the best way to do it is a witch hunt... well, can't help
much there.
