what about cooling down, accept some facts and work together in a constructive way? We should remember that offering 2 world class desktops should be used as a strength of openSUSE. Arguing and fighting between both will lead anywhere.
I guess you meant "nowhere".
Whether intentional or not You (your decision) are in a big way responsible for the in-fighting. oh, obviously you haven't noticed the "in-fight" on the ml prior to my decision. Yes, someone else told me before that perception is pretty subjective.

A lot of the openSUSE-GNOME people, in addition to being openSUSE ambassadors are GNOME ambassadors as well. Perhaps for much longer than when openSUSE is created. Afterall, The creator of GNOME is with us and we have two GNOME Board directors.
Just because some KDE users want to have a one-click-less installation you are making GNOME a second choice (driving away a lot of potential GNOME users). You think any GNOME ambassador will want to promote these DVDs where GNOME is considered inferior ? If so, you are failing to understand basic Human psychology and is over-expecting.
To be honest, I see no way this gonna heal soon and people living with grudge against each other communities for very long.
When there is no _quantifiable) way to assess the benefits of this move, but a noticeable negative impact in a considerable members of the community, the move imho should have been avoided. Which is why, Even after these many long threads, you are unable to convince the people opposing this move. and these people are not the usual troll-kindlers but genuine community people.

I believe things will be a lot more calm, if we just accept that GNOME and KDE communities are different and give separate DVDs instead of bundling them together in a single promo-DVD. Atleast every desktop will get more packages to install. And KDE users can get more packages without GNOME occupying a huge chunk in their installation media.
