Except now you're missing twice the disk space.  Seriously, installing both DEs
is a complete waste of space, unless the user is interested in evaluating both
DEs to see which one he likes better.  If I know I'm going to be using KDE, I
don't want the whole Gnome suite installed, and vice-versa.  I still haven't
uninstalled Gnome, something I've been meaning to do for a long time, but
haven't had the willpower to spend that much time hunting down every last
unneeded package.

A choice during the install would be more than welcome.
