Er, for the public record, apologies to Gerald - due to the flow of the
conversation and a lack of morning coffee, I somehow had him confused
with Alex GS.
For the record Christian Schaller's "Vision for the Fedora Workstation" really cleared up a lot of items for me as I actually sat down and read it in detail. Fedora Workstation is not about NOW it's about the FUTURE. This is about solving the very problems everyone including myself has NOW so things are better in the FUTURE. The default desktop is irrelevant because when the Workstation WG says default desktop they mean the base of technologies that will build their product. They don't mean GNOME 3 as it is NOW because whatever GNOME desktop they really want is the one that will be produced in the FUTURE specifically for the product. Hope that clarifies things.
