Yes, I seriously believe that. I'm involved in the debian-edu
subproject, and we try to make Debian available for all pupils and
students during education. Several of the teachers responsible for
setting up the computer network at their local school will be
seriously baffled when asked to choose between gnome and kde.

Absolutely. Which is why I try to encurrage redusing the amount of
questions during first time install, and hide the complexity and
flexibility from "common" users view, to reduce the cognitive strain
on the first time debian users. Us experts will find the options
anyway.

I do not believe these users _care_ if they get the KDE or gnome
desktop. I have no idea what you mean by "our current disk
requirements".
