The Desktop spin essentially did quite a while ago.  The DVD is
something that keeps getting churned out because it always has been
afaik.  Every time we try to kill it, people bring up having a single

having multiple DEs to chose from, etc.  It's basically the "choose
your own adventure" Fedora option and people still want that.
