I assume that this proposal will be accepted; the following is not
about blocking this proposal. But I wanted to ask a wider question:
is there some way to avoid having a separate immutable spin for each
and every desktop? The desktop is maybe a 100MB out of the whole distro,
and everything else is the same between the spins. For a package-based
install, a user would could just the generic variant and then configure
their account to use a different graphical shell. But here we need a
place on the download page, and in the docs, and we build ISO images,
run QA, etc., so there is a noticable cost to each new deliverable.
