My current feeling is that the proposal does not sufficiently 
differentiate Plasma from Workstation. What makes Plasma fundamentally 
better for education and scientific users? Why would these applications 
not run equivalently well on Workstation?

I'd much rather explore ways that we can allow differentiation outside 
the product process - the Ubuntu approach seems to have worked well 
here. The different Ubuntu desktops are built from the same archive but 
have independent (but related) brands and marketing. Why would this not 
work for us?
