Sorry, but we're talking about Debian!
I don't think that our target audience are people who cannot make such
choices, and even if that would be our desired audience (a feeling which
I have with *buntu) than our actual audience is probably another one.
Debian is the "Universal OS", isn't it? Or at least it wants to be,...
and I'd guess most of our users actually _want_ to have all these
choices.

Come one... it's about selecting a desktop environment, which most of
our user will know anyway.
"Cognitive burden"... you're speaking as if monkeys in some NASA lab
would be put in front of a computer and have to decide for the right
desktop environment in Debian to go to space ;)
Cheers,
Chris.
