The fallacy here is the implication that any given Fedora spin is
equivalent to an unqualified "Fedora".  Besides that, empirically, this
just isn't true, I think it's detrimental to the project to completely
abdicate content definition to the user.  This isn't just about having
an "I don't care, pick one" button, it's about making sure that the
thing you get when clicking that button is both consistent year to year
and the best experience we can offer.

I have trouble thinking of a way that randomizing the desktop selection
every release would make a user's life better.
