At the time of the major revision to the criteria, it was agreed 
between QA and anaconda team that the appropriate point for this was 
Final, not Alpha. This is indeed required functionality for *Fedora*, 
but Alpha is not a final release.

Well...I tried a couple of releases back to have Xfce and LXDE added to 
the 'supported desktops' list, and that was rebuffed. If a desktop with 
as long a history both in itself and as a part of Fedora as Xfce can't 
make it to 'supported desktop' status, I'm not sure MATE would make it 
in its first Fedora release...
