The whole concept of a default spin is what I and a few others here object 
to in the first place. There should be no one default! There should be a set 
of 2 or 3 primary spins (GNOME, KDE and possibly some third option, probably 
something lightweight and/or netbook-oriented) to choose from as equal 
first-class citizens.

(And FWIW, I really don't see why the Fedora Project insists on abusing the 
word "Desktop" to mean "GNOME".)
