Now that's a spin that I like :)

However, you can argue whether effectively discontinuing the most-used
DE on Linux is a wise move. I can understand some of the reasoning
behind it, but in my mind, abandoning your old product in favor of some
fad of the day feels like a forced upgrade. And most users use Linux
because they got fed up with the forced upgrade treadmill of certain
proprietary software manufacturers...
