Really why is the "workstation working group" dictating and decided that..

a) it's an single product
b) a single desktop environment
c) which desktop environment it is

As opposed to say

This is the baseline,expectation and criteria we have agreed upon for an 
desktop environment to be considered an workstation product and then 
simply have the DE*  and their surrounded sub-community's do what needs 
to be done to meet the workstation criteria and become a workstation 
"product".

Instead you have chosen the path of deliberately causing friction 
between different desktop environment maintainers and the user base 
surrounding their already existing community product and continue to 
fuel debate that dates back all the way to RHL 6 thus well beyond the 
entire existence of Fedora.

Why because Red Hat and employees are dictating that's why what other 
logical explanation can there be?
