The thing that I don’t understand is that someone made such a decision,
which is a *functional* one, based on a purely *technical* matter.
Especially one as minor as the installation CD which has no actual
conceivable use today.
There are valid arguments for picking either of KDE, Xfce or GNOME. But
if the main reason for choice is a vague “fits on CD#1” requirement,
then I’m afraid we lack precise technical requirements of what changes
need to be implemented.

Could you please sum up those discussions and explain what kind of
changes you would consider to be productive?
