Makes more sense for e.g. small computers like those in 3rd World talked before.

Since a11y looks like a compelling argument to go back to GNOME by default, I think we must address that point one way or another if we want it to happen.
I think there are several ways to do that: * tweak the debian-cd scripts to build GNOME images for Linux architectures and Xfce or MATE images for !linux (I can’t tell how hard it is) * make stripped-down gnome-core/gnome metapackages for !linux, relying on lightdm and gnome-flashback (that I can do) * hackishly make gnome-core/gnome metapackages depend directly on Xfce or MATE for !linux instead of GNOME (same)
Overall, a gnome-flashback solution would probably be more featureful, but it is clearly less maintained than e.g. Xfce.
