I've been a Gnome users since days of the helixcode and this is Gnome 
and we are not ashamed or trying to hide that fact under the label 
"Desktop" and this is done right and out of respect towards the 
community and in accordance with how the other DE as it should have been 
done from the start.

What is, what always has been and always will be wrong is to have 
something called "Desktop" or "Default Desktop", "Default Workstation" 
quite frankly it is and and always has been dictated by RH what it is 
and will clearly be continued to do so since all the RH employees had 
signed up to the WG nomination page before the community even knew of 
it's existence.

The fact is that we have 7 other desktop environments which community 
members are working on and just been cause they are not part of the Red 
Hat desktop team or not being paid to work on their desktop environment 
and do not suffer from the Gnome tunnel vision they do and should get 
equal presentation and equal opportunity to advance themselves with in 
our community.

And if something should be done in our upcoming changes it would be to 
kill the default desktop, merge the desktop list with gnome list and 
give the Gnome community the freedom instead of tying their hands 
"generic default" which does not work for anybody or proxy control them 
through FESCO decision.

There the Gnome developers could keep the "traditional spin" going while 
the Gnome community members have the tools to play around without 
interfering with that ( which is what I'm currently working towards ) 
because in the end of the day they will need a vibrant community 
surrounding themselves if they are going to pass their own release 
testing matrix.

QA wont be doing that laber work for them.
