That's possibly because of some assumptions I've made that may or may not be accurate.

Ah. To be honest, I think that's up to the FESCo/Board level. There are spins that extend beyond just choice of DE, and people could want to create different spins of Server, etc. So I personally wouldn't advocate for the Workstation WG to solve that issue. It's definitely something that needs to be worked out, I just think it needs to be done at a higher level. josh -- desktop mailing list desktop@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop
