No he wanted out of the default install. We have a badly defined
naming scheme which is causing confusion:
default install -> what you get when you put the DVD in and do a click
through install.
default spin -> The GNOME desktop livecd.
Spins are managed by their respective "teams":
default has been GNOME and managed by GNOME sig
kde is managed by KDE sig
xfce is managed by XFCE sig
etc etc
So I would say that the GNOME team is within its rights in managing
its spin. Whether it is named default etc is someone else's problem.
But within the functional area of the SIG/team. And you know I'm a big fan
of more independence of SIGs, and to be honest, I think for Desktops, it's
a good move to remove sendmail and rsyslog. The underlying bits should be
identical, from the documentation perspective, supportability (ah, we do
not have support ;-).
One of the Flock proposals says, this should be standard to differ more,
another one is more about stable underlying bits, let's see :)
