Sure there is. I'm not convinced that voting should be open to any and all.
We had a jump in registered users following this feature of more than 200 users, which means to me a bunch of people who may not have had an interest in participating in openSUSE decision making have suddenly taken an interest in one feature.
Indeed :-(
Now -- if this means we have >200 potential contributors who are going to remain involved, great! If it means we have >200 people who just want to say "+1 KDE" and then go back to being not involved, not so good.
So, if the majority someday decides to drop xfce for 11.3, and later gnome for 14.0, it will be done?
- the feature shows the success of opening up the openSUSE project. Few years ago decisions were made by Novell and nowadays decisions are challenged by our community.
If this feature gets approved, it would certainly show that openSUSE is really open and not just something that Novell fully controls.
Novell does want the project to be "really open" and I don't believe it would stand in the way of this feature. But, that doesn't make this something wise to do just to demonstrate that the project can go in a different direction than Novell.
