Hmm, I didn't know that. The last time I suggested to have Xfce and LXDE
on the DVD I was shot down and told...

... that I should do a proof of concept, so I should spin my own DVD. I
did not have the time and the necessary documentation, but if someone is
willing to do this and we have something to show to rel-eng, our chances
are surely better.
