Absolutely d'accord ... But why have this "kool default DE" and not
leave the choice to what its users actually use?
Or differently: One of Fedora's "higher" goal is "freedom" - Why
not
demonstrate this attitude by example and decouple Fedora from Gnome?
Is this a technical coupling you speak about or just because of the download button? I
mean Fedora being coupled to Gnome for me means that if I install from the KDE spin
I'll get a full blown Gnome installation too.
