No, it's not a problem. If you have a problem with it, 
fedora-websites-list is not the place to take the problem. I recommend 
speaking with FESCO or the Board.

So I suppose we should also have the Fedora emacs spin and the Fedora VI 
spin and the Fedora open office spin and the fedora koffice spin and the 
fedora abi work and gnumeric spin and the fedora enlightenment spin and 
the fedora reiser fs spin and the fedora ext spin and they should all be 
equal because users need a choice!

I have not yet consumed enough coffee at this point to even consider the 
combinatorics of the above.

What you call freedom of choice, I call overwhelming potential users and 
scaring them away with too many choices. If you ask someone on the 
street which desktop environment prefer they will likely have no idea 
what you are even talking about, and I doubt they would know to care 
either way when going to download.
