<p dir="ltr">Hi Kevin,<br></p>
<p dir="ltr">I think we are going at it a little backwards and creating double work for ourselves.<br></p>
<p dir="ltr">For example the MATE-Compiz spin is the same thing that gets pressed on the DVD with the addition of some compiz packages. <br></p>
<p dir="ltr">As long as the proper QA is done there, and some minor sanity checks done on the spins, why all the extra work?</p>
<p dir="ltr">Just a thought.</p>
