So, if the majority someday decides to drop xfce for 11.3, and later gnome for 14.0, it will be done?
It depends. If any desktop is used by < 0.1% of openSUSE installations, we should seriously consider dropping it from the default ISOs, though of course developers/users would be more than welcome to maintain it in the openSUSE Build Service and make it available from there. (Don't get hung on the 0.1% number, please. There is no hard rule, I am just using this as a plausible example. And "we" refers to the openSUSE community.) We certainly should not drop a desktop environment which a significant number of our users run; that would hurt the overall project badly and I hope^Wbelieve this is nobody's intention here.
