think it's sufficient grounds for downgrading the spins too far in
importance or dropping them.
That language was probably too harsh, sorry. Let's try again: I think a
large (or huge) subset of users will be dissatisfied with the procedure
for installing alternate desktops through GNOME Software, and will opt
to not install Workstation at all. I don't think this will be a surprise
to anybody.
As long as we still have spins, it's not really a big deal.
