Just so I understand correctly, is this a serious request to remove the freedom of the current GNOME user base to install it, in order to encourage the GNOME project to be more free? As in, it is not enough that an ignorant GNOME user might stumble across something they can't configure and decide to explore other desktop environments: they must be prevented from initially using GNOME, instead being forcibly introduced to some other DE and only able to use GNOME by installing it later with the package manager? Perhaps I have misunderstood, but if I haven't, which DE do you think should be the new default? Would it be Mate as you use now, or some other?
