Has there not been half a decade atleast argument in the community for
the other then the "default" desktop environments as well as other
"spins" to get equal representation of their product, an place on the
front page, links etc on par with "default" so fourth and so on?
But I understand since "pidora" is Red Hat special case why it got
chosen over all other rPI releases out there and why it got landed on
the front page from the marketing team over of our own projects products
or "spins" just like that...
