Pitch idea for April's Fools: Fedora changes default DE from Gnome to i3

[Francisco Vergara]

Just a little April Fools joke.

[Silvia Sánchez]

Hello,

Are we sure we want to make a prank on April 1st?  Not everyone has April's
Fools, or Fools Day in that date. Not everyone might appreciate a joke in a
seemingly random date.  I'm personally against it.

Kind regards,
Silvia

Yeah,

I come from an area where it can become rampant and people who are not 
accustomed to it often don't get the concept. I would have to say no to 
doing an April Fools joke on the community.

The i3 default desktop article would be good for a satire site:

Fedora lauches bbbb.fedoraproject.org - a site for "cutting" edge news
around the open source world.

"Confutatis maledictis, flamis acribus addictis" - background song for
a Microsoft sponsored "Where do you want to go from here?" commercial.

Well, yes in that context it would likely work.
