But it also fails that definition and this was ignored just because it
didn't happen in the GNOME spin (which will always be the GNOME spin, not
the "desktop spin", but *A* desktop spin; FESCo, the Board or any other
committee deciding otherwise doesn't change this, it's like deciding that
apples are "fruit" and any other fruit can only be an "orange fruit",
a
"pear fruit" etc., but not a "fruit" because only apples are that).

Please stop making the same point five times, I'm reluctant to reply to
you because I don't want to repeat myself all over the place.
I already explained this, multiple times, on email and IRC. I'm sorry
you're not happy with the explanation, but saying so again and again and
again isn't getting us anywhere.
