If only people would *think* before writing such articles.

Debian has *never* switched to Xfce by default.

In Debian wheezy, which is the current target of developers' efforts,
tasksel *always* defaulted to GNOME.

The commit that's cited by this article was exactly meant for this:
- revert the Xfce default 
- include a patch for a release critical bug
- build tasksel with that release critical fix

A few days later, the very same committer reintroduced the change that
defaults to Xfce, in tasksel's git. As of now, tasksel has *never
ever* been built with Xfce as default.
