Yes, the KDE spin has been around for a long time and I see there are
now XFCE and LXDE spins.

while the "new features and enhancements" listed don't resemble the

I don't use Gnome myself, mainly KDE.

who has a problem with it just rebuild and release Gnome2 for F15 (with a
different package name) ?
