Secondly, the implementation and communication of 'default desktop selection' was as weak as humany possible (GNOME still first in the list, Zonker and news.o.o backpedalling while making the announcement) to minimise the hurt to our GNOME community while still respecting the strong demand expressed in the FATE feature. We executed this feature in such a half-hearted way, it's no surprise that it weakened the attraction of the *project* to those the selection was intended to appeal to.

But why does popularity have to be incumbent on making KDE the default? Why can't openSUSE's implementation of KDE be popular on its own merit? I don't see how the existence of GNOME in openSUSE lessens the ability of openSUSE-KDE to be the best implementation of KDE out there. Shouldn't the KDE Community be appreciative of the quality of KDE itself on openSUSE? Maybe its a marketing thing in that we haven't done enough to highlight how great KDE already is on openSUSE? It just seems to me that we gain nothing if we go the "favoritism" route as community should strive to be the best it can be regardless of whether the default was KDE or GNOME.
