You've already provided a major reference for the discussion which has taken place on debian-devel. It included controversy (altering the status quo always does) but it really does come down to size. The first CD is not big enough to hold GNOME but I assume it will be on the first DVD. So maybe the decision was quickly made but it didn't come from nowhere. You may sympathise with this response: http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2012/08/msg00066.html The way the artwork for Wheezy was chosen also had its critics. See the June archive for debian-desktop. The work is done by people who step forward and surveys are not necessarily going to make that happen. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
