That's about the short description, right?

Apparently, the long description bike has now been tweaked in many
ways...so we can go on that other one

As of now, in this discussion, we have:

Description: Standard (non-graphical) system
 This task sets up a basic user environment, providing a reasonably
 small selection of services and tools usable on the command line.



My understanding of your point is that having this:

 [ ] Desktop environment
 [ ] Foo
 [ ] Bar
 [ ] Standard (non-graphical) environment

....does not make it clear that standard+desktop will end up in a GUI.

If we go back to "Standard environment", I guess it does not make
things clearer enough.

Maybe things could be changed in "Desktop environment" to make it
clear that this is graphical?
