It would be consistent to have something like
Fedora Desktop (GNOME edition) and
Fedora Desktop (KDE edition)
It's confusing and discriminatory to call one of the spins as the
desktop when you have more (which is likely to increase) than one
desktop oriented spins.
+1 from me to this as a long term Gnome user that's not much interested
in KDE; but I know others are.
This issue brings up a interesting question: Which board has the power
to influence and adjust this particular naming scheme in our new
"merged" world? FESCo or the Fedora Board?
