Two
or three of those quotations were direct rips from your previous emails
on the topic. If you don't actually mean those things, then I suggest
not writing them.
I said it's "madness" and "totally wacky" to NOT HAVE THE OPTION
of
installing your desktop directly, before first installing GNOME. That is
also what I said "almost all users are NOT going to put up with".
If you took this to mean that nobody would ever want to install some other
desktop in addition to GNOME on a GNOME install, you clearly misunderstood
me. I am sorry for that.
My point is that most users WILL have a preferred desktop and will want that
desktop to be the one their distribution gets installed with. They may or
may not want to try out other desktop environments at a later point. (To be
honest, I think most people won't, but for those who will, OF COURSE it
should be possible!)
