I don't disagree with the "more research and reason" part, but the 
current default desktop has only been "our default" for four releases, 
F15 through F18.  I don't recall any serious "research and reason" 
having been involved in the switch that occurred when F15 was being 
developed.  As far as I can tell, it was just thrust upon us without 
much consideration as to whether it was good, bad, or indifferent.  My 
proposal is at least only that, a proposal, and is not being thrust upon 
anyone without discussion and ultimately a vote.
