If it was about choice, I demand the wmaker one cd, and the xfce one cd... Lets speak the english clear here, right? Lets not try to put smoke in the scene and do some doo-woop magic and say its about choice and bla bla bla. Cause it is not. Its a weight we have to carry, and its exactly the way Ive said.
It is not about choice, its about having to have gnome. Again: there
Let me make perfectly clear that openSUSE is not a KDE distribution and neither a GNOME distribution - it's a distribution for everyone. It was always a strong KDE distribution and continues to be so. It always contained both GNOME and KDE - and continues to do so. I'm glad that it contains now a polished GNOME as well as a polished KDE. Our last survey showed that more than 20 per cent of our users choose GNOME. This is not the majority but a strong enough group that I will not tread them as second class citizien as you suggest - and do not consider them a "weight to carry". We want to grow our distribution and therefore have to offer various desktops to attract users. It's not about having to have GNOME - it's about wanting to have the best desktops environments to attract developers and users. Btw. WindowMaker and XFCE users are far less and developers can create their own one CD if they want - and make it available.
is no reason to not have kde one cd as the first of the 5-dics set, and leaving gnome to the 2nd cd, except for the only reason I ahve cited. Its not about choice, its not about anything you have said.
