More space on the Xfce spin

In support of the people who champion a lightweight distro  +1
(why were we attracted to XFCE in the first place?)

In support of adding (business) functionality  +1
(how do we employ our computers?)

Spin 'definition':
Fedora spins are alternate version of Fedora, tailored for various types 
of users via hand-picked application set or customizations.
  http://spins.fedoraproject.org/
  [BTW this featured XFCE when I visited]

Different users will have different interests. All of my (non-svr) m/cs 
run OOo. However such may not be a 'good idea' on a NetBook...

It is worth remembering that there are still many ppl who suffer slow 
and/or unreliable download links (and/or EXPENSIVE). There are others 
who relish (and will 'pay' for) the convenience of an 'out-of-the-box' 
experience.

Is there room for more than one spin?
eg one emphasising 'business' (fully loaded/heavy), and
another stripped for speed...
