 Ok then - so then the debate here should not be about gnome 3 missing
features - we all agree - that should be an upstream discussion.

 The discussion should turn to what the default desktop should be - in
the past it was  gnome 2 - gnome 2 is dead and we now have 4 desktop
managers to choose among (gnome 3 being just one).

 So - lets choose the default desktop manager for fedora from among:

   Gnome 3
   KDE
   XFCE
   LXDE
   ? Other?

 How do we go about changing from gnome 2 to one of the above- since
gnome 3 is not gnome 2 it should be on equal footing from above list -
should this be by a vote on a website - discussion - fesco - what?

  What is the best mechanism for the fedora community to choose the
default desktop?

  May the best desktop win :-)
