Or the default DE choice could "rotate" for each release --- XFCE for F17, LXDE for F18, KDE for F19, Gnome3 for F20, and over again, in turns. That way each DE would have equal amount of "visibility" among users, more bugs would get fixed, etc.
This is actually a very nice idea. And I believe it fits in with the goals of Fedora, forwarding the progress of FOSS. After all Gnome is not the only FOSS desktop, by far. Maybe you can suggest this on the desktop list? (is that the appropriate list?)
Yes, it is a good idea! I have been using XFCE for some number of releases now because I wanted a lite desktop for my netbook and so I changed to XFCE for all my other desktops and servers for consistency - and I have been quite happy about the change ever since!
