Yup... "nonproduct" should be changed, it really has a negative connotation
(maybe that was the purpose to discourage usage).  I
can understand how "standard" would not want to be used.  "Standard" to me
implies that it should be the default for everyone.  How
about "allproducts" - which is really what it is.  If that gives people
heartburn, how about "customproduct" or just "custom".

Going back to the subject of the thread, I really don't believe Fedora is
trying to "expel KDE"; but it's obvious that Fedora considers it
the stepchild - in a state of benign neglect.  The way KDE has been
handled, maybe it should just be called "Snow".
