Right! since spins are just a fancy way to install groups, I would
like the main install to offer them in a distinct 'I want to
customize' installation step of the One True Fedora. That assumes
that one can actually mix and match groups, even if they affect the
fundamental layers such as the desktop environment. I haven't tried
a combined Gnome/KDE installation recently, but I remember that it
just offered an option to start a login session in either desktop
environment.<br>
<br>
An example of rampant customization is SUSE studio
(<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://susestudio.com/browse">http://susestudio.com/browse</a>), and I am not at all impressed by
it. I am sure that there are some gems there but the pile of
options is just overwhelming, and I think a better approach would be
to have a solid base system with multiple customization recipes.<br>
<br>
This would require careful definition of QA release requirements, to
avoid combinatorial explosion in testing---but the current approach
of testing the two basic desktop environments is fine and would
still work. <br>
