Q: Do you want to keep Fedora Worksation?

A: No.

Q: Why?

I'm going to say this one more time. It is a really BAD idea to define
"Fedora Workstation" or "Fedora Desktop" as 1 single experience.

Yes, I know about the "vision". I guess you guys forgot that GTK+ can
run on multiple DEs.


Note: I do think Fedora Server and Fedora Cloud are absolutely GREAT ideas.
